Guys,
I think you are trying to find a term for something, I would like
to get rid of. "OSGeo Project" is, what I would like to achieve
for both - today's projects and labs together under one hat.
Or anybody thinks completely different?
Just my $.02

Yes, i think "Incubator Projects" is an appropriate name for
this.
Vaclav - Is this ok for you?

I agree Community Projects is a confusing name.
What about incubator projects? That’s the term that Apache uses.
http://incubator.apache.org <http://incubator.apache.org/>
Best regards,
Bart

Thanks Jeff.
Though we had lots of discussions afterwards and continuing
on this , we couldnt find any solution till now. So this
might be a good opportunity to modify the Incubation's
"labs" term, to something like "Community Projects" to avoid
confusion if that is acceptable to Vaclav, Jachym and others.
Many thanks.
Well, I'm not particularly fond of "Community Projects" as a
name. Even mature FOSS projects are community projects in one
way or the other. Unfortunately, I don't have other suggestion.

(we are approaching 2 full years that this "labs" naming has
been an
issue and discussed[1])
Today, knowing how ingrained the term 'lab' is in the GeoForAll
education network, maybe Jachym is correct that it is a good
time to
modify the Incubation's "labs" term, to something like "Community
Projects".

Put perhaps it is not such an issue since the term "Geo for
All" (http://www.geoforall.org/) is now used more and more
(well, the linked website as OSGeo Labs in the title element).
