[Incubator] [Board] mapfish project status

[Cameron Shorter]

Jody, I'd suggest that this should be managed at the level of the OSGeo 
Incubation Committee rather than at the OSGeo Board.

As a Incubation Committee member, I'd suggest giving MapFish a period of 
time (say 3 months?) to re-validate their incubation status, and during 
that time have them remain as an incubated project. We don't have a 
process yet for this, so we probably should write the process as we go.
