we should not aim at establishing a "lex rasdaman" now, but stick with what is
considered reasonable for other projects, too.
OSGeo is providing a well thought out rule set to achieve uniform, neutral
treatment of all incoming projects.

Well, there are current projects under incubation, and they all are in pretty
much the same situation. Please suggest us any of them.

Frankly, my understanding of this process is that rasdaman incubates like any
other project, and not to work on the incubation standards as such. Our role is
too humble in this - actually, IMHO this is the task of the incubation supervisors.
So can I ask them to chime in - @incubation leaders, what's your take on this?

We started with a clear incubation list indeed, and we feel like we have
responded to it.
Let me point out that all this administrative work (to avoid bureaucracy) is
taking away valuable resources from development and assisting users. So we
should keep a careful balance between what is required, what is useful, and what
is just nice to have.

We have been responding for years now to every request, and hope for some
convergence. This above again feels like an open statement, without any clear
indicator of when the task will be done.

again, this is open ended: what level of detail? I'm willing to do the extra
work if I can see another project acting as a shining example :)

So in a joint effort, please help us better understand what is requested, based
on the OSGeo provided framework.
thanks,
