For the record and future reference, ASF doesn't expect external "sandboxes" or "laboratories" to exist. All development are expected to happen on the "mailing list" and in the "source repositories". Officially, if a codebase doesn't follow these principles, then it needs to be vetted thru the Incubator (never mind we are there now). Exactly what consitutes a "codebase" is of course very subjective. The intent of the principle is to allow collaboration among interested parties. Island development and "mine vs yours" is greatly discouraged, even frowned upon at the ASF. Letting others into the Felix core framework is perhaps a scary proposition, but absolutely necessary for greater acceptance among the peers, avoidance of dependency on your well-being, and reduction of the total work load required. Mentors, anything you would like to add in this regard?? Cheers Niclas
