Basics
- Has the project been approved for incubation by the OSGeo board?
- Yes, selected for "founding project" incubation by the OSGeo board.
- Has an Incubation committee member been assigned as Mentor?
- Yes, Chris Holmes has been assigned as MapServer incubation mentor.
Infrastructure Transition
- Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects web presence?
- Yes, to a point. There is a basic page that points to our primary, plone-based, website.
- Is the OSGeo bug tracker being used for the project?
- Yes, we migrated to the OSGeo TRAC instance in late April 2007.
- Bug tracking repository moved?
- Yes.
- Is the OSGeo mailing list manager being used for the project?
- No. mailing lists are hosted at http://lists.umn.edu/ and we would like to move to OSGeo hosted lists at some point soon.
- Is the OSGeo SVN or CVS system being used for the project?
- Yes, we migrated from CVS to the OSGeo SVN instance in early May 2007.
- Are binary and source downloads available from the OSGeo download area?
- Yes, source downloads (nightly and official releases)were moved to OSGeo in early May 2007.
Community Functioning
- Is there a functioning user support mechanisms (ie. mailing list)?
- The mapserver-users mailing list is quite active and well posed questions often result in more than one helpful response.
- Are source and binary downloads for the package available?
- Yes, visit http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/
- Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?
- Partially. MapServer has a technical steering committee that will likely fill this role. RFC-1 will have to be ammended to establish the TSC as the PSC.
- Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc.
- Yes, see RFC's (for TSC, and committer rules at least). May need to review committer rules in light of tighter OSGeo policy.

- Have project documents been updated to reflect membership in the foundation, and the relationship of the project to the foundation?
- If not, indicate when this will occur.

- If not, indicate what is planned. (note: currently an OSGeo web style has not bee established)
Code Copyright Review
- Has a Code Provenance Review document been prepared for the project?
- The code provenance review has begun and a roster of siginificant developers has been built and is available via the MapServer website. We are using an online spreadsheet as to tool to track the review, presence of a license, etc... for each source file in the MapServer distribution.
- Have issues raised in the provenance review been adequately addressed?
- indicate outstanding issues.
