Looks like I've never sent this one out. Moving this to general@incubator from board@

Still I'd like to take a moment and discuss what you've articulated bellow to get IPMC feedback: > Daniel made an observation as an interested member, and picked up on a couple > of > instances of podlings that potentially misunderstood graduation or reporting > requirements, > based on the text of the report.

Interestingly enough this wasn't how I read those same reports. To me the listed concerns signified podlings desire to make software 'more compelling' before graduation point. Regardless, I guess my real question is this: if a podling feels that they need to achieve a certain milestone in software completeness before they can confidently graduate, are we really in a position to push them out of the incubator somewhat against their will? > However, I'll leave it to Daniel to further clarify if he wishes (perhaps on > the incubator lists for > the benefit of those shepherding the podling reports). That would be useful as well.
