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.

    Hi -
    
    There has been mentions about lack of documentation, not being able to find 
documentation, not being responsible for a policy, and not including the 
rationale for a policy.
    
    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.
    
    Regards,
    Dave
