...I think that "contributed" and "experimental" are somewhat orthogonal, in fact, linotype can be considered both contributed and experimental....
Agreed.
...So:
contributed -> no broad community support
supported -> broad community support
deprecated -> community either moved onto something else or dropped the concept alltogether....
NOTE: a contributed block might find itself deprecated without never being supported. This is the full state/transition diagram:
+------------------(rebirth)-----------------+ v | -(birth)-> [contributed] ----------(death)---------> [deprecated] | ^ +--(maturity)-> [supported] --(retirement)---+
+1, looks good!
the transitions that require community vote (majority) are:
- maturity - retirement
the other transitions can be done by every committer in every project under control of the cocoon PMC and require only a "proposal" to be discussed on the cocono development mail list.
+1 as well.
