Hi Dave, IMO, the Incubator is the "welcome wagon". Unfortunately, it often greets new neighbors with a huge list of policies which is not welcoming. That makes the incubator more iike a bad Homeowner's Association from a movie. Or maybe a Boot Camp where only the tough survive and everyone else washes out. When I think of the word Incubator, I think of baby incubators in hospitals where staff goes out of their way to help each baby survive and then thrive, not one where the goal is selection of a few.

This morning I remembered something that happened some 49 years ago when I was a child and we moved to the suburbs of Chicago. A nice lady came over to the house from a group that called themselves the “Welcome Wagon”. She provided goodies and all kinds of information about both the local subdivision and the village. I wonder if this is something that the Incubator could help build and disseminate? An Incubator Welcome Wagon could be a Guide of Guides and include introductory information about: (0) Onboarding (1) Community Development (2) Infrastructure and Builds (3) Legal Policy (4) Release Policy (5) Press (6) Foundation Structure This information would come from the definitive committee and the mentors and podlings could provide feedback to the appropriate committees. I think something like this would help the Incubator and Mentors be more facilitator and less police.
