It doesn't sound as clean, but possibly. I'd be concerned with the oversight that the Incubator needs to apply while getting everything set up and proper within the ASF. With it located elsewhere, that becomes a bit more difficult. Call me a -0 on allowing off-site incubation. > This would remove the most (potentially) unfair aspect of incubation: > that projects can be rejected, and must then relocate all their > infrastructure off Apache. Again, IMO, I don't see the Incubator in the role you're thinking of. If the Incubator is mostly about logistics rather than evaluation, then there is no potential for rejection. They simply won't hit the Incubator if there wasn't a sponsor PMC to say "we'll take them when you're done".
