| <p> |
| The Incubation Guides linked below are descriptive and at times |
| discursive documents. They describe established practices. |
| These guides are informational. They are something to start from |
| and improve on. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Unlike the <a href="../incubation/Incubation_Policy.html">Policy</a>, |
| the guides are <strong>not</strong> normative. You <code>MAY</code> diverge |
| from a guide whenever it makes sense for your project. Only the |
| <a href="../incubation/Incubation_Policy.html">Policy</a> |
| is normative and <code>MUST</code> be followed by all projects. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For more information, see these <a href="#notes">notes</a>. |

| Within all Incubator documentation, the terms <code>MAY</code>, <code>MUST</code> |
| and <code>SHOULD</code> are used as defined |
| by <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119">RFC2119</a>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Documentation is considered a secondary source. It records experiences and codifying consensus |
| formed on the mailing lists and in particular on <code>general.AT.incubator.apache.org</code>. |
| Please feel free to <a href="lists.html#general+at+incubator.apache.org">subscribe</a> |
| to this list and ask any questions not covered adequately by the documentation. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The Incubator documentation is intended to be read as a superset of the documentation |
| for full Apache projects. See |
| <ul> |
| <li>the Apache Software Foundation <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/">documentation |
| </a>, especially: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html">Apache: How it works |
| </a> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |

| <li>the Apache |
| <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/">development documentation |
| </a> which includes information for contributors, committers and PMCs |
| </li> |
| <li>the Apache |
| <a href="http://www.apache.org/legal/">legal group documentation |

| Questions <code>MAY</code> be expected on deviations from the established |
| practices documented in these guides. The aim of this process is to improve |
| quality by ensuring that decisions are fully considered and to allow established |
| practices to evolve. Subjective quality is one factor taken to account by |
| <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Roles_and_Responsibilities.html#Incubator+Project+Management+Committee+%28PMC%29">IPMC</a> |
