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. josh _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
