> Have those "entering" the incubator not yet been voted upon?On the "Projects Being Incubated" page (<http://incubator.apache.org/projects/index.html>), there are four categories listed:
* "Projects in the Incubator" (AltRMI, FtpServer, WSRP4J, JaxMe, Pluto)
* "Projects entering the Incubator" (Apache Geronimo, XMLBeans)
* "Projects affiliated to the Incubator" (Lenya)
* "Projects previously Incubated" (Tapestry)
The latter category is pretty obvious, but can someone clarify the
difference between projects "in", "entering" or "affiliated to" the
Incubator?
The page is obsolete and does not reflect reality, the distinction is really not there.
I'm finishing the new website now, please wait a few more days.
In the meantime look here for more fresh info: http://www.apache.org/~nicolaken/whiteboard/incubator-draft-new-site/index.html
These docs are more near to the real incubation process: http://www.apache.org/~nicolaken/whiteboard/incubator-draft-new-site/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html http://www.apache.org/~nicolaken/whiteboard/incubator-draft-new-site/incubation/Process_Description.html http://www.apache.org/~nicolaken/whiteboard/incubator-draft-new-site/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html
What does it mean that "Lenya is being incubated inside the Cocoon project"? Does this mean that that it is the Cocoon PMC that determines when this project is ready to "gradudate"?
It just means that the Cocoon PMC is the Sponsoring Entity and final destination.
>Also, some projects (AltRMI, FtpServer, Geronimo) are using incubator-* modules in CVS, while others (WSRP4J, JaxMe, Pluto, XMLBeans) are using their "destination" repositories (xml-*, ws-*, etc.). Similarly, some projects (AltRMI, FtpServer, Pluto, Geronimo) are using http://incuabator.apache.org/projects/* as their web point of entry, others (WSRP4J, JaxMe, XMLBeans, Lenya) are using their "destination" hosts (http://ws.apache.org/*, http://xml.apache.org/*, etc.). Similarly, some projects are using [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing lists, others are using their destination hosts. (Curiously, there doesn't seem to be a complete overlap between those projects using one piece of incubator infrastructure and those using another.)
How is it determined whether a project uses the incubator-based or
destination-based infrastructural component?
Is this by project option? By destination PMC option? By Incubator PMC option? Some combination of these?
The names of the resources are given by the name of the Sponsoring PMC. In the case of AltRMI, FtpServer, Geronimo there is no sponsoring destination PMC, so it's the Incubator PMC.
As for other resources, AFAIK each project uses what it wants, if not against the rules of the eventual destination PMC.
