Progress

We are watching the initial projects go through the incubation process as a method of defining what is required. The following pages track the progress (and experience) of these projects (see also related Incubator Application Form).

Geotools: GeoTools Incubation Progress
GDAL/OGR: GDAL Incubation Progress
Mapbender: Mapbender Incubation Progress
GRASS: GRASS Incubation Progress

Each project may also have a page describing the incubation process on their own community website, the above pages are explicitly for the incubation comittee to learn from experience.
