Jason,

Well, I think there are some points to hammer out here. :-)

I don't think it is Webcom or Marketting's responsibility to provide
prods for projects to get through incubation.  If we segregate them
on the web site it should be because we think it is valuable to our
visitors for them to understand which projects are considered "fully
vetted" vs. those that are not.

I see no reason not to have full one page info sheets for projects
in incubation as a hand out at conferences.

I think it would be a disservice to the projects, and our visitors to
relegate incubating projects to some secondary page that would be
rarely visited.

PS. Thursday at 10:00PDT is fine with me, though a reminder near the
time would be valued.

Best regards,
