Hi Landon and others on the incubator list,

Something touched on in the last board meeting was that our incubation 
questionaires encourage incoming projects to make use of OSGeo 
infrastructure.

This was considered desirable when OSGeo was formed, but the software 
development landscape has changed, and well maintained infrastructure 
such as sourceforge and github is now available for free, and arguably 
provides better value and better service than volunteers at OSGeo can 
provide.

The Project Graduation Checklist is now consistant with this revised 
focus, however it would be valuable if the other documents, such as 
Incubation Questionaire and Project Graduation Guidelines were updated too.

Eg revise from Project Graduation Guidelines: " Project is willing to 
migrate some or all of its infrastructure (code repository, web site, 
wiki, mailing list, etc) to foundation support infrastructure, and to 
adopt a website style consistent with the foundation."
