The Incubator is probably the most dynamic community in terms of trying to
re-invent oversight without bureaucracy. If the PPMC reorganization is
successful, the Incubator could be considered the first "umbrella" project
that has proper oversight on all of its projects.

So you would incubate projects on Sourceforge, Codehaus, or wherever, and
drop them full-born into the ASF afterwards. I don't consider that in the
best interests of the Foundation. What I do believe is that projects should
probably graduate from the Incubator more quickly than some of them have to
date. The Incubator should not be a permanent holding place for projects
that aren't clearing up their issues.
