| − | A project going through the incubator will be in one of the following four states:
| |
| − | * candidate
| |
| − | * incubating
| |
| − | * active
| |
| − | * archived
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Candidate ==
| |
| − | * provide description of the project to be incubated
| |
| − | * must include the people committing to the project
| |
| − | * must have a plan to be in compliance with the manifesto
| |
| − | * must be supported by a sponsor which will help during the incubation phase
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Incubating ==
| |
| − | * the sponsor actively works toward getting the project setup:
| |
| − | ** make sure the needed infrastructure is provided by the community (lives in our current playground area)
| |
| − | ** help grooming the community
| |
| − | ** more generally verifies it's going in the right direction
| |
| − | * project can't have a top level website yet (incubator.kde.org/foo ?)
| |
| − | * project can't use the KDE brand yet
| |
| − | * sponsor regularly touches base with the committee regarding progress made
| |
| − | * if project is stalled (see details at the end of the active phase) or keep not conforming to the manifesto it gets archived
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Active ==
| |
| − | * project enters kdereview and follows the process from there (see also [https://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Application_Lifecycle Application Lifecycle])
| |
| − | * whole team behind the project is assumed to behave like other KDE teams
| |
| − | * project respects the manifesto
| |
| − | * stalled projects (no release for a year, no commits, no mailing-list activity)
| |
| − | ** current maintainers are contacted to check what's happening
| |
| − | ** if no chance to see activity again or no reply from existing maintainers after a month then a call to new maintainers is done
| |
| − | ** if after a month no new maintainer showed up project gets archived
| |
| − | ** if a new maintainer shows up he gets a six month trial, if the project is still inactive it gets archived
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Archived ==
| |
| − | * all data is archived
| |
| − | * VCS gets closed
| |
| − | * mailing list disabled
| |
| − | * only last download is available
| |
| − | * if someone wants to pick it up, it goes back to the candidate phase
