Hi Daniel, We had no native English speaker in the room when we came up with “experimental”. However, I think it denotes exactly the status of a module that was contributed to Sling but was never made a part of the core. I wouldn’t necessarily call a contrib module unmaintained, however its usage was not necessarily vetted by the majority of the Sling committers.
Bleeding edge modules should still be part of the Whiteboard until they stabilise. The more I write about this, the more I’m tempted to say that we should maybe categorise our modules into “stable” (core), “beta” (contrib), “alpha” (whiteboard). What do the others think?

Is there some more middle ground here, between "not part > of the "core"" and "use on your own risk, probably not well maintained"?
