In walking through the incubation documents (helping a couple of groups who have asked me about how to do this) it struck me that there was no requirement that the proposal provide a link to download and evaluate the code around which a project is being proposed - in fact it appears the code itself could be kept secret until project acceptance into the incubator. It seems to me that any honest assessment of the merit of accepting a proposal should include a look at the code itself, if only to get a gut-check on how maintainable and evolveable that codebase might be going forward. Many proposals have provided just such a link despite it not being required. Requiring it would also avoid the situation where someone says "if Apache approves it *then* I'll release the code".
Thoughts?
