[Incubator] Speak up if you think the draft "Project Graduation Checklist" has any remaining issues

[Jody Garnett]

Thinking:  

It is something we look for - but it is something we look for before accepting a project into incubation is it not (see http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/application.html).

Still adding a section (at the top!) called "open" would be good.

Rather than go back and forth on email I have added the section and invite your review.

Additional comments in line.

It is intended; it is not part of the basic checklist required for graduation. We could rename the section as "OSGeo Participation" if you like …  

Basically the incubation committee is not acting as an enforcer for other committees; instead we open the door to the foundation after checking the project has an open source license and is not otherwise embarissing in public.

So yes this is very much intentional; it was hard in previous version of this checklist to separate out what was needed form what was an invitation.

It is okay; can you review the page quickly? I will make sure I am on IRC if you want to talk things over.
