[Incubator] Propose SLDEditor for incubation

[Daniel Morissette]

I agree with Cameron. Based on what I see in the application ticket and 
in the project's README.md page I don't think that SLDEditor is close 
enough to the level of maturity required to meet the graduation 
criteria, so there is not much use in entering incubation at this point. 
For this reason, I'm -1 on the project entering incubation for now, but 
sincerely hope that Robert and the project team will reapply once it is 
more mature and has more chances of passing the graduation criteria.

However it should definitely be listed as Community project while the 
project works to grow its community of users and contributors and works 
on the other items from the incubation checklist.
