What do we call that incubation stage?
Incubated you say? How about an EGG. An Evolving Growth Group.
This is clever, and would be great if SIGs didn't exist -- but they do.
Again, I prefer simplicity.
"SIG" = a loose group of folks trying to solve a problem.
"Project" = a formalized team of people who are accountable to The Board
for solving a particular problem.
Seems to me that the "Packaging SIG" is really a "Packaging Project" by
these guidelines.
