Hi,
not that i am not interested or that the idea isn't interesting
generally but can you please continue the discussion on one mailing list
only.
Or better on an appropriate mailing list for the new incubator project.
Thanks

all,
Let me do some additional comments regarding our current project setup
since this is a project which not necessarily has to do with
OpenOffice.org core technology or native lang projects.
I tend to disagree here ... but lets see ...
Currently the Incubator category has been set up to provide some space
to test new ideas (see:
<http://projects.openoffice.org/incubator.html> "The Incubator
category exists to provide a space for community members to test
ideas. These ideas can be coding or not."
OK
It seems to be the expectation that the projects in Incubator should
find their final destination either in Accepted Projects
(http://projects.openoffice.org/accepted.html) or in Native-Lang
Projects (http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html) or find
their end sooner or later in "/dev/null". Since the [EMAIL PROTECTED] project
does not meet the criteria for being an accepted project ("...
projects that include core technical projects as well as key user
information projects.") nor the criteria of a native lang project it
seems not be that easy for me to just vote "+1" without this lengthy
comment.
That means, that you do in principal vote with a "+1", doesn't it?
In my daydreams, I see the [EMAIL PROTECTED] becoming the OOo suites complement on
the server. Thus I hope it to certainly become a "core technical project".
I think we need to revisit these guidelines and may invent a new
category like "OOo related" projects. Candidates for this project
might be the [EMAIL PROTECTED] but also the Extensions or the Education project.
To encourage the creation of such projects I would like to see the
conditions for those project at a low level. At the same time this
also would mean that these project are also not in the scope of the
Community Council Charter
(http://council.openoffice.org/CouncilProposal.html).
Ah, I may understand what you are talking about now ... it is about the
CCs relationship e.g. with [EMAIL PROTECTED] right? For example, if the CC needs
to coordinate releases of [EMAIL PROTECTED] or extensions etc. right?
At this time many OpenOffice.org related projects are hosted anywhere
(e.g. more than 100 on sourceforge) but not within the OpenOffice.org
domain. I think it would help the overall OpenOffice.org project if we
would introduce such new category for these projects.
I agree that we should encourage any OOo related project to be hosted on
OOo. So, I am not sure yet if we really need a new category, I have to
admit, that I am even not sure we need any categories at all ... yes I
know, I am slow ;-)
The current infrastructure on collab.net has some limitations (single
database Issuetracker instance for all project) which makes the
introduction of an independent category difficult but I guess this is
just a technical problem and should be solvable in the one or other way.
but under the current guidelines of the project I'm fine with voting
for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] project becoming a regular incubator project of
OpenOffice.org,
Ahhh, I hoped so :-) thanks!
