If said person has demonstrated useful contributions to CLI in the sandbox, then it seems to me that it would be appropriate to propose that they now become a Commons Proper committer. Deciding upon the removal, or otherwise, of components from the sandbox base on activity alone is not quite right, I think. As Noel pointed out when he started this thread, there are components in the sandbox that might have generated a community around them, had they actually been made visible on the web site. Personally, I'd prefer to see any given component exist (actively) in either Proper or the sandbox, but not both. Once a component has been promoted, it should stay in Proper, and its presence in the sandbox should be removed. I understand the history in the particular case of CLI, but I'd just as soon avoid that particular scenario going forward. -- Martin Cooper > > -John K > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
