Actually, the STATUS file was in the context of the repo move:

[ ] Project updates the STATUS file to reflect graduation
In other words, the STATUS file in the top level directory of the
project's svn code repository. But! I'm seeing that some, but not all
asf projects have a file at (or near) the top of the repo named STATUS.
I spotted the same "discrepancy" myself a while back (I only found
one podling with a STATUS file -- Beehive). Eventually it turned out
that what was meant by the STATUS file was the podling's status Web
page.
I think that was just how the derby mentor started the derby project off
and I was generalizing. Should I remove this reference to the project
repo status file?
That sounds reasonable to me. As I understand from Noel and David's
responses to my query, a file named STATUS is not required to exist.
And doublechecking http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-5
against the updates to
http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html, it looks
like the incubator status file is
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/projectname.html . I had that on
the list as this:
PPMC updates http://incubator.apache.org/projects/${PROJECT}.html
with link to new website location.
I think I should update that to this instead:
PPMC updates http://incubator.apache.org/projects/projectname.html
with graduation status and link to new website location.
I would go with what's already in the policy, if only for consistency.
(Even though I personally prefer ${PROJECT} -- it makes it clear even
to notoriously confused people like me that the name of the file is
NOT projectname.html ;-)
