what's the role of the incubator pmc in this? at the least, it's a set of passionate asf people who are essentially in agreement about what makes something a genuine 'apache'-style project, who review the reports of the mentors and make suggestions and eventually vote on whether the podling has become self-sustaining in the 'apache way' of doing things. in a more perfect world, the pmc members will involve themselve more deeply than that in at least some of the podlings, so they can observe at first hand, possibly providing guidance at first hand (though preferably through the mentor).
Is it worth setting up some regular reviews of
incubating projects? Once every three months or
the like? If there is a requirement to review
reports, then maybe that should be formalised?
I must have missed this the first time around. I agree with Berin here. Before the incubator, all the responsibility would have been on the sponsoring PMC. I think that sponsoring PMCs need to take an active role in helping projects move through the incubator.
what's the role of a 'sponsoring pmc' in this? solely as an observer until the podling graduates.
Not sure I'm comfortable with this. I'm not a
very good Apache project if all I do is site
around and observe. If I say "I want this" then
I should have some form of responsibility (and I
agree this needs to be put in the form of an
individual) to the outcome. Not just as an
observer.
