-This document is under link:#help-wanted[development]. At the moment, this
-is just a skeleton outline.
-
-== Background
-
-This document is descriptive not normative. It discusses and describes
-the process of incubator entry and offers some views about how to approach it.
-It is not an inflexible standard but
-represents a consensus condensed from previous discussions on the
-incubator general list.
-
-=== Help Wanted!
-
-Help to improve the system by posting a patch for this document to the
-incubator section of JIRA or a comment to the general list at incubator.
-
-== Understanding The Acceptance Process
-
-The acceptance process is simple in theory but complex in practice.
-
-The theory is that candidates are accepted or rejected by a vote on a mailing lists.
-Anyone can vote (and are link:participation.html#general-list[encouraged] to do so)
-but only eligable votes are binding on Apache. For candidates
-link:/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Sponsor[Sponsored]
-by the *Incubator* this means members of the
-link:/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Incubator+Project+Management+Committee+%28PMC%29[Incubator PMC].
-
-In practice, the process is more complex for candidates who want to give themselves
-the best chance of being accepted.
-
-Apache policy is set by the Board either directly or through it's special committees.
-The incubation PMC is responsible to the board and so it is the duty of each PMC member
-to vote against a proposal that does not adhere to this policy.
-
-All policy is decided by PMC vote and so represents an active consensus. Though PMC members
-are free to vote in whatever way they choose, it is reasonable to expect PMC members
-to vote against a proposal that does not satisfy policy.
-
-However, satisfying current policy is not sufficient. Acceptance is a democratic process
-requiring positive approval by the electorate. The guides and other documentation are not
-policy. They are approved only through lazy consensus.
-
-See:
-- [links to posts and threads]
-
-== Notes On The Process
-
-=== The Proposal
-
-=== The Vote
-
-When the proposal seems finished and some sort of consensus has emerged, the
-proposal can be put to the vote.
-
-The right time is a matter for judgement. Ask the
-link:/incubator/Roles_and_Responsibilites.html#Champion[Champion] for advice
-or ask on the mailing list. It is usually best to ensure that the discussions
-and debates surrounding the proposal are complete before moving to a vote. This may
-mean move discussions which are not about the proposal to separate threads.
-
-The right duration for the vote is also a matter for judgement [link].
