I find this remark confusing. Surely this is what the incubator is *for*
- to learn about open source community at the ASF.
A strong community and "basic feature development" are not requirements
for entering the Incubator. Rather, the incubator is the place for
community building (among other things).

There is no requirement that a project be a completed product when it
comes to the ASF. Indeed, as our friend Stefano Mazzocchi observed, all
those years ago, coming in with a completed product makes it a lot
harder to build a strong community, because there's nothing for them to do.
I readily admit that I've been away from the Incubator for some time,
but surely we don't require projects to have a robust feature set and
vibrant community as a requirement of entry. That would seem completely
contrary to the entire point of coming here.
