All others (can) help. > Not sure I understand? (Call me slow :>). I'm more trying to determine how that responsibility is realised. So for example, there is a requirement for a shepherd. That person has a set of responsibilities. What are they? How is this oversited by the Incubator PMC? And also - what is the PMC not responsible for? I've seen in various places that the Incubator makes no decisions on technical merits (makes sense) of a new project/sub-project. I notice in the STATUS file for the overall project, there is a plan for a set of bylaws for the project. I think that would be a great help. It looks like this is all very much understood by those more intimately involved in the incubation process. For those of us coming in cold, it's a tad confusing.
