all podlings please update and maintain project metadata
Would all podlings please update and maintain your project metadata.
It is up to your project members.
This metadata is used by various processes to assist with managing
the many projects in the Incubator. Please do not expect other
people to do it for you. This will not scale, either now or when
you are TLPs.
Recently Clutch is detecting that there are many such issues [1].
The notes in that table try to assist by linking to some relevant
documentation.
Incoming projects need to add their details to content/podlings.xml
Incubating projects need to keep that content up-to-date.
Outgoing projects need to adjust that content as they go through the
graduation phases.
This then assists all volunteers to assist all volunteers.

Thanks. Yes i had figured that that one was an unusual case.
When your project is ready to clean up after a new release as TLP,
then remember that everything is already at http://archive.apache.org/
Thanks again for making the effort to explain.

In the OpenOffice case, offending filenames listed at
http://people.apache.org/~crossley/incubator-releases-bad-filename.txt
belong to a security patch issued for OpenOffice.org 3.3 (released
before incubation); they were made available as an exception, to address
a security problem while the first (3.4) Apache OpenOffice release was
not available yet, and it's normal that they do not contain the word
"incubating".
Regards,
Andrea.

The point applies to both #requesting-podling and #requesting-graduation.

Agreed: linking from #requesting-podling to the incubator.a.o page
documenting the overall process from the podling's POV would make sense.
Go for it :)

Ah, maybe we have identified the breakdown. Perhaps they skip
the Incubator documentation.
I reckon that we need to link in both directions.

Yes.
We already do point to the infra docs.

Guess we need to give this a little love:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/graduation.html#project-first-steps
and point to the new docs (which are fantastic btw)

FWIW, https://www.apache.org/dev/infra-contact#requesting-graduation
seems to be read and followed by most graduating projects.

Similarly, it is a *requirement* that TLPs keep their DOAP files and
other aspects of their project websites updated. So it's a really good
thing for podlings to get in this habit before graduation.
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs
Separately, I'd love to hear any comments about how this kind of
requirement is expressed in the graduation guides. I.e. is it clear,
even to normal humans (i.e. 99.99% of the world who are not Incubator
experts) that these things are required of TLPs before (and after)
graduation?

Please maintain your incubation metadata. This then enables
other volunteers to have information at their fingertips to
assist them to assist others. There are also some automated
processes that utilise this metadata, as also happens when
you become a Top-Level Project (TLP).
Please see previous email below.
