For example, watching XML-Beans, I believe Ted played an incredibly useful role at the start in just getting things up and running and in assisting the project to start up. To me, that role is too important to leave as an informal thing. If it doesn't exist and nobody does it (or everybody things someone else is doing it), incubation stands a good chance of failing.
Again - the mentor is the bootstrap. He/She achieves success by becoming redundant :>.
But maybe this is my big company (always very desirous of accountability) background showing through :>.
Cheers,

When the Incubator is coming up for its own quarterly report, I think that the Incubator Chair can send out a reminder to each PPMC list reminding them. The PMC, for its part, can and should make sure that there is sufficient oversight, but I don't believe that we need to designate someone as *the* Mentor, so much as make sure that there are always members involved. As for getting work done, the PPMC ought to take responsibility, and the less it needs someone to ensure that tasks are accomplished, the better.
Perhaps we will find out that we need something more formal, but the less we need of that the better.
