Nicola,
Nope.
@see http://cocoon.apache.org/lenya/community/mailing-lists.html
No Incubator logo, no @incubator.apache.org mailing lists, no reference to the incubation status.
I stand corrected.
Isn't <cite href="http://cocoon.apache.org/lenya/";>Apache Lenya is a Cocoon subproject under incubation.</cite> a fair enough reference?
IMHO no.
I don't get the core of the problem anymore. While I agree upon the concept of an Incubator, if its main functions are actually carried out by the receiving PMC, I wonder what all the fuzz of mentioning the Incubator is about.
AFAIK the project is under the Incubator PMC, and we are responsible for it.
I think the value proposition of the Incubator should be more directed at the receiving PMC and the Foundation, and less at the incubating project. The incubating project primarily interacts with the receiving PMC, which can call upon help to the Incubator. This is about the same way new folks and projects interact with Infrastructure, which requires the PMC to be informed of infrastructure requests. The PMC is the facilitator, and checks whether people actually get an answer. Or that should be the theory, IMHO.
Hmmm, I get your point. My concerns are about *clear* and *traceable* responsibility. It seems easier for me: we are responsible for it, we keep it, we shove it on the next PMC when ready. Clear-cut lines are easier to manage.
When two are responsible for a thing, nobody is. ;-)
I'm not *that* sure about going this way, but given the issue (albeit minor given the management done on PMC lists) that has come out with Lenya, this is IMHO our best bet in not making it happen again.
Paul seems in favor of this too AFAI see, so much in fact that he thought it was our standard :-)
WRT Incubator VS Recieving PMC
- Before we said: we are the incubator, we incubate
- Then we have said: you are the project recieving, you incubate
- Now I'd rather see: we have this project you want, incubate it, we will give a hand, and it will become part of your projects

These are sparse notes, not a VOTE, man. ;-)
That wasn't a vote, but fractional enthusiasm. :-)
Yeah, that was fun :-)
