This move to the incubation has raised some argumentation.
One reason for this expressed in [3], stating that the code is developed
on ASF homeland:
"...BTW, why do you need to go through incubation? All the code was
developed in the ASF. It's ASL. You already have a home designated for
it. Seems like incubation can be skipped."
Another reason to skip incubation is the possible lost of visibility of
the project expressed in [5]:
"...The thing is, people looking at HC may just say "Oh, Droids.
Interesting" and take a look and join the community, whereas in
incubator, who knows, it's might be lost in the noise"
One suggestion for this points is suggested in [6]:
"I does seem to me like there should be some sort of incubation fast
track for a lab project that wants to become a subproject of an existing
TLP."
The thing that Droids [7] needs now is more exposure, committer with
different use cases and different needs for robots and plugins. This is
the only way to create a truly "intelligent standalone robot framework".
BTW I started an incubator proposal [8].
WDYT about either skipping or fast track incubation or doing the
standard incubation?
IMHO, a fast track incubation is ok. The project still need incubation,
in order to meet the ASF requirements (community diversity, for one of
them), but it should not take months to be promoted to a TLP/sub-project.
