To me, the answer is *an identified leadership structure that makes things happen*. My take: any Fedora undertaking that is mature enough to (a) develop a critical mass of people who *do* something instead of talking about something, and (b) easily integrate other people who want to help by handing them useful actions to perform... is mature enough to be called a Fedora project. Really, it's a project when the *participants* decide it's a project... not when *we* decide it's a project. The board should be encouraging those "incubator projects" to *take action*, and should reward those that *do* take action by giving them "official project status".
