As far as I know (from my weak memory :) ) there hasn't been a vote at Cocoon about "accepting" this block...
Sorry, last I told the lenya-dev guys that IMO a vote was not needed to create a new block in Cocoon (but I also said that it would be polite to ask ;-)
...I'm really worried that everyone starts a new block whenever he thinks it's right to do without asking anyone (This is not targetted at you Gregor.). I did this myself, yes. But I think we should sometime really start to discuss new blocks, otherwise we get burried under too many blocks noone maintains. In fact a block is a new subproject that perhaps should go through incubation etc...
You're right, I'm also guilty of creating a few blocks without formally asking.
Seeing how hard it is to retrofit tests and docs to existing blocks, maybe we should require the following for any new non-scratchpad block:
-samples
-automated tests
-documentation (in the block itself, I don't think our docs structure makes it easy to integrate docs from blocks)
-a "community" (for example, at least three committers who need it)
And require a vote before creating a new block, where the creator must provide evidence of the above.
WDYT? -Bertrand
