- Incubation -

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

+ Project Setup +

This is the first phase on incubation, needed to start the project at Apache.

- 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. + Item assignment is shown by the Apache id. + Completed tasks are shown by the completion date (YYYY-MM-dd).

- 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?
