Incubation status report
STATUS file
The status file reflects current project status up to the point of
graduation. The project graduated on January 18 2003. There was much
rejoicing :D
Collaborative Development
- all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and
acknowledged as committers on the project.
- there are 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.)
- project decisions are being made in public by the committers.
- the decision-making guidelines are published and agreed to by all of
the committers.
Licensing awareness
- all licensing, trademark, credit issues are being taken care of and
acknowleged by all committers.
