[sakai-pmc] Incubation questions

[Neal Caidin]

imho, we should give the incubation process a try which will allow us to 
see if it does add value to the Sakai product, and if it doesn't add 
enough value, provide feedback to the process. This is how quality 
improves over time. If we never try, we'll never know.

Now there is the question of whether this will impact features going 
into Sakai 10. But that is not really a conflict is it? Because we want 
to know what the quality of the tools are going into Sakai 10 and to 
ensure they are good. If a tool is not quite ready during our Sakai 10 
timeline, I presume we would yank it and schedule for a later version 
(Sakai 10.x or Sakai 11), to give enough time to get the quality where 
we need it? We would do that with or without the incubation process, 
correct?

Thanks,
Neal
