Who has any idea what this actually means without looking up the definition? Why not call it what it is: Member Sponsor. > Sponsor (was Sponsoring Entity) - the PMC or Board that accepts a > candidate for incubation. How about PMC Sponsor, again for the same reason as above. > Mentor (was Shepherd) - the responsible Apache Member who works with a > podling to see it through the incubation process. Are there actually cases where the member sponsoring the new project isn't the mentor? I mean, who is going to 'champion' a new project and then leave it to someone else to mentor? Do we really need to create jargon for the incubator? Looking at the word podling I had no idea what it was at first in the context of the incubator. I checked if the word actually exists, as I had never heard the word before, and it's a cod-like fish that is salted and dried. -- jvz.
