When someone asks you questions like "should our project X come to the
ASF", how - specifically - do *you* start advising them?
While some advice may be personal or answers to someone's actual
questions, I'm most interested in general details around the incubation
process you share with newcomers:
- What specific URLs do you point newcomers to?
- How do you explain those URLs, and why did you choose those?
- Are there any bullet points or major topics you always cover, to make
sure a newcomer thinking about coming to the ASF also thinks about all
the steps or aspects that incubation requires?
I know we've had people build friction logs for newcomers at a couple of
places across the ASF in the past: descriptions of specific steps that
were hard, or information that wasn't clear for someone new. Here, I'm
asking for what we as IPMC folks who write to people when they first ask
one of us "what is incubation, anyway, and do I want to do it?"
If anyone has a standard boilerplate email or the like they share with
people asking, I'd love to see those as well (and can help organize them
somewhere later, once I learn the incubator website again).
Thanks!
