Hi Dave, Thanks for your message.
I'm a bit confused now: it seems that we have a consensus that the Polaris proposal is solid and correct (according to the number of positive feedback in this discussion so far). Justin expressed concerns, asking to update the proposal. As said, I understand the comment, and would be happy to change the proposal. Who's having the same concern and request to change the proposal ? Should we move forward to a vote with the current proposal as Dave proposed ? I don't want to frustrate anyone here. I have the feeling that if I don't change the proposal, at least Justin would not be happy, and, on the other hand, if I change the proposal, others would not be happy. So, I'm open to suggestions. I think the Polaris proposal is solid, the contributions (code and non code) are there, the community is small but eager to grow (and that's the purpose of the incubator).
