+ Incubation +

These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.

+ These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they + may change during incubation. + They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and + completed in the request for incubation signoff. +

+ Collaborative Development +

Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and + acknowledged as committers on the project? +
Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition + of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there + is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared + employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as + individuals, directly or indirectly.)
Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of + the committers?

+ Licensing awareness +

Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and + acknowleged by all committers?

+ Project Specific +

+ Add project specific tasks here. +

+ Exit +

+ Things to check for before voting the project out. +

+ Organizational acceptance of responsibility for the project +

If graduating to an existing PMC, has the PMC voted to accept it?
If graduating to a new PMC, has the board voted to accept it?

+ Incubator sign-off +

Has the Incubator decided that the project has accomplished all of + the above tasks?
