= Apache Incubator Whiteboard =

The Apache Incubator Project (http://incubator.apache.org/) is dedicated to facilitating the smooth entry of valid new and donated code bases and community projects into the Apache Software Foundation.

This wiki is the whiteboard we use to collaborate on draft documents and receive extra suggestions and docs from anyone interested in helping. Of course the main process documentation is at [[http://incubator.apache.org]]

= Board Reports =

Incubator PMC must report to the ASF Board of directors every month.  The way this works is that Incubator projects compile their
own report of project status, and send that report to the Incubator PMC for aggregation and feedback.  Not all Incubator projects,
however, are required to send their report to the Incubator PMC every month.  

The [[http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ReportingSchedule|Reporting Schedule]] page lists which projects must report when.

''Add new years and months here: actual reports to the Board go on the appropriate monthly page.''
