[Incubator] Suggested tweaks to incubator docs

[Cameron Shorter]

Ok,
I've drafted proposed updates to Incubation docs, to align with the 
Project Graduation Checklist, primarily to remove implied preference for 
using OSGeo infrastructure.

Application Questionnaire:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubator_Application_Questionnaire
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Incubator_Application_Questionnaire&action=historysubmit&diff=75900&oldid=75899

Evaluation Criteria:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Project_Evaluation_Criteria
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Project_Evaluation_Criteria&action=historysubmit&diff=75898&oldid=75896

I suggest that if there are no objections within a week or 2, we should 
vote to approve these updated versions of the docs.
