[14:11:58 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> why isn't the portlet past incubation already?
[14:12:01 CST(-0600)] <athena> though there's an argument to be made that for a very young project, it makes sense to take some time to work out the APIs with several different schools before making them so formal that we need to start doing work to make them backwards compatible
[14:12:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> what are the roadblocks
[14:12:20 CST(-0600)] <athena> i haven't looked at the JIRA, but one of the most common reasons is adoption
[14:12:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> if this is simply a matter of the incu committee needs to do a review and promot it
[14:12:23 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I'm fine
[14:12:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[14:12:31 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> I didn'
[14:12:35 CST(-0600)] <athena> and as drew points out, it's harder to get adoption if it's not included in the portal
[14:12:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> didn't realize that adoption was one of the criteria 
[14:12:46 CST(-0600)] <athena> yep
[14:12:55 CST(-0600)] <athena> and also contribution from multiple sources
[14:13:00 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that can be rather catch-22ish
