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

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".

The mainling list is ica-osgeo-labs. 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).
