[Incubator] gvSIG incubation push

[Manuel Madrid]

Hi Dimitris,

Good to hear from you again and thank you very much for being willing to 
help us again. We are really almost done. Let me give you a general view 
of the status of the incubation process:

We made a big effort some months ago in order to finish the main pending 
task: the code provenance review. At this moment it has been completely 
reviewed three core projects which together represent more than 97% of 
the core source code. Also, within the rest of the core projects (less 
that 3% of the total code) we reviewed the license compatibility with 
external libraries so there is only missing the review of external code 
and file headers of this small part of the code. We identified and fixed 
all the issues that we detected within the reviewed source code.

Regarding the rest of requirements, in principle there are only two 
missing documents: the release guide and the release testing checklist. 
We could provide those documents in a short term but, to be honest, 
unfortunately we are not going to be able to review the provenance of 
the missing 3% of the code at this moment, as all our resources are 
completely focused in the final release of gvSIG 2.1. We really hope 
that this is not a critical issue.

You will find all the information related with the gvSIG incubation 
process in the following links:

We would very much appreciate if you can review this and let us know if 
providing the documents I mentioned would be enough to get ready for the 
graduation.

Of course I will be available for talking about this off-list if you want.

Best,
Manuel.
