To incubate CGs, not Projects.  Yes.  I was actually thinking that the
OGB could function in this capacity, which would also offer us the
opportunity to familiarise new Core Contributors-to-be with their
responsibilities and privileges.  Each CG-in-training would become an
OGB standing committee, along with one or more OGB members (the
Constitution permits this) and could endorse projects to publish new
work.  If/when a real community grows up around the work, it gets spun
off into a real CG.  At that point, everyone should be familiar and
comfortable with the operation of a CG as well as creative ways to
manage smaller efforts (projects, committees, and others).
