Re: [VOTE] Change "Mentor" to "Mentors" in Incubator Policy

[Craig L Russell]

I'm pulling this vote in order to update the definition of Mentors per Jim and Justin's request. I'm hoping that the change is ok with everyone else.

I'll have another patch ready for a vote shortly.

There is, afaik, still some people who think that having
more than one Mentor is unwise (the old saw is more than
one mentor means no mentors)... If a podling wishes
to have just 1, we should honor that, I think.

Therefore I would think some sort of statement such
as "The term 'Mentor' is not designed to be either
singular or plural, and can either mean a single Mentor
or a group of Mentors" or some such thing...

I'm not ready to vote on it yet...
