The only reason I left Champion (or whatever we
want to call it) was that the role does play a part in the
start up of incubation, and is not necessarily the Mentor.
E.g. XMLBeans, where Steven Noels did most of the work to
help the candidate through the initial process and then
Ted took on the role of Shepherd. (Note that this doens't
mean the Champion ducks out - Steve is still around in
XMLBeans.)
There was a thread some time back from memory on this -
where we came to the conclusion that the kind of person that
makes a great Champion is not necessarily the person who
makes a great mentor, so we agreed to keep the two
separate - gives some flexibility.
Cheers,
Berin
