As a Kato mentor, I see my role as ensuring that the Foundation is safe and that Kato is run the Apache Way, not fixing all that's broken in the Incubator. > If the question is whether or not a podling can essentially copy and > paste the same report quarter after quarter, year after year, with > little or no change, then I strongly object. ATM Incubation works well only for main sequence projects. The IPMC has collectively failed to account in its system for podlings that encounter unusual issues that force them from the sequence. IMO it is the responsibility of the IPMC to fix the system when it breaks, not the Mentors of the podling. For month after month, Kato has been flagged in the reports as stalled but no one in the IPMC community thought to even discuss how to fix this before now. (And now the IPMC seems to have brought only one club: terminate any podling which leaves the main sequence...) Kato is not the first podling to be stalled. It will not be the last. A 'parked' status (freezing the podling but allowing an efficient restart) is IMO the right way to manage this.
