Sorry, but this has not worked.
I knew that many did not want renamings to occur, being touted as
"expensive", so I still stand behind my last proposal (that has been
trimmed here) which seems to me like a possible "compromise":
1 - the websites are placed in
incubator.apache.org/projects/subproject
2 - these projects have as project logo the Incubator Logo
3 - They all have as a bottom line disclaimer a note that the roject
is in incubation
Note that point 2 and 3 have not much to do with infrastructure, and
point 1 is not under direct control of this list, as the project members
would still have access to the incubator-site module, as part of the
project.
