Comments:

1. I continue to assert that there are only two meaningful kinds of 
project: incubators/SIGs/whatever, and full-fledged projects.  Why 
distinguish between "ideas" and "incubator projects"?  Why does someone 
need "a plan of action" to "graduate" to incubator status?  What's wrong 
with having 2000 incubator projects, 1500 of which overlap?

2. The statement that Fedora Ambassadors is a sub-project of Fedora
Marketing implies that there's a functioning Fedora Marketing Project, and
that it's official.  Is this so?  Who's the chair of the Fedora Marketing
Project?  Who's the steering committee?  When does it meet?  What is its
purpose?
