1) would this create confusion with something like the Apache Incubator,
which is well-defined but not well-understood outside Apache circles?
IMO, no.
2) I like the idea, but an example project might help illustrate
here.
Agreed, though I have some of my own ideas.
3) What are the criteria for "graduating"? Who are the
mentors in this
example? (Mentors are a key part of the incubator for Apache.)
Do projects have to graduate? I don't want this to be viewed as a
competition between initiatives, and promotion/relegaion/graduation
seem to set a competitive tone. As soon as you start talking about
graduation or promotion, you start getting into resource allocation
issues, etc.
I'd personally be fine if a project joined the incubator and stayed
there. If they wanted to somehow because an Objective, we already
have paths for that.
