I agree the IPMC as a whole needs to take ensuring that podlings are properly branding their status seriously - in particular, to provide better oversight, regular reminders to podling communities as needed, and direct action (or raising to board@) if podlings don't pay attention. I also understand historically it's been hard to organize getting this done. I personally don't want to weigh in on the URL. I can see the large hassle it is for changing various references when graduation comes around. I like having it there as a reminder; but what's far more important is if the overall appearance of the website clearly shows the incubation status - rather than just the URL. >> >> Perhaps a solution to this it's a require poddlings to be serous about >> this when they make a release? i.e. vote -1 if the incubating disclaimer is >> not clear on a poddling site. >> Nice. Any way there can be a simple check for people reviewing process steps is helpful. And yes, if the podling doesn't have an appropriate website, then you should vote -1 on the release. Podlings can wait the couple of days it takes to fix their website. > > Hmmm not a bad idea. I'd still like to see us re-double the effort on > resolving branding issues on the websites.

It's clear there's too wide a variability in mentor, ahem, attention span to rely on mentors for all podlings. Volunteers and ideas on how to do this better appreciated. I definitely like all the ideas focused on better explaining and better defining what the specific policies are. In particular, requiring the incubator logo and a more prominent "under incubation" disclaimer are things I very much welcome. - Shane > > John > > >> >> (And I would be willing to vote that way on releases if this vote passes) >> >> Thanks, >> Justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
