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

ok, Open section re-instated as requested. (Some minor formatting and a 
couple of words tweaked in the process).

re-reading, I see that we loose meaning by taking it out.
There is a little duplication in the doc now - but I think we can live 
with that.
