Hi Justin, This looks good.
in your general notice about releases, please include a note about nightly builds, and any other non-releases which communities can make. In other words, after: "This includes docker, githubb, PyPi, npm and any other platform for publishing releases, and also covers release candidates." please add "This does *not* include nightly builds, or other project *internal* artifacts used for quality control and experimentation." We don't want to be scaring off projects that have a healthy attitude towards UX-testing. : o) Thanks, Myrle On Sun, Feb 3, 2019 at 8:34 AM Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Draft incubator report has been put up here [1] > > We’re still missing reports from a number of podling and you only have a > few days to get them in. > > Feedback and edits welcome.
