Thanks, image and text are updated. I believe the instructions are clear.

Maybe one feedback regarding the instructions but I'm not sure if this was
just a special case for my account. I already had an account on the
website which I used quite some time ago to add EOxServer as a project. I
thought it might be more straightforward if I just created a draft of a new
project and then wrote to the incubation mailing list. I was able to add
the project and some content but it wasn't visible in the preview. Maybe
highlight the required “project author” permissions in WordPress?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your guidance.

Best
Stephan
