[Incubator] Fwd: committee website and operation

[Jody Garnett]

Trying to clarify Landon:

Did you mean "about the incubation committee"

*3. Appointing mentors for incubation projects.*


This is part of our mandate
<http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/IncubatorMotion.html> from the board, we
can ask for a revision but it is a bother.

Did you mean "committee operation"

** Project mentors: Have volunteered to represent our organization at a
personal level as a guest on the projects email list and meetings. Project
mentors are responsible for recommending when a project is ready for
graduation based on this first hand experience. For more information see
mentor guidelines.*


I tried to hit the high points of the mentor guidelines
<http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/mentor.html>. Assume you mean this
one, how about this for an alternate wording:

** Project mentors: Volunteer to represent OSGeo at a personal level
answering any questions and providing guidance to the the project team
during incubation. Project mentors are responsible for recommending when a
project is ready for graduation. For more information see mentor guidelines
<http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/mentor.html>.*


Does not sound quite as friendly, what do you think?
