I think you miss-read Ricks comment. There is a branch of the framework core under sandbox/rickhall/framework-require-bundle which has been announced by Rick as the place he is going to start implementing required-bundle and fragments. The reason for a branch is that it is no small task and quite a lot of other people rely on a working version of the core.
In other words and for the record, there are no "external sandboxes" nor "external laboratories" and the development happens on the "mailing list" and in the "source repositories". As someone who has contributed to the Felix core framework by means of patches and direct svn commits I can state that I encountered no problems doing so and didn't had no felling that whoever sees my contributions as a "scary" development. Frankly, I personally don't see that there is any reminder of the Apache ways necessary at the moment. I'm sure that if you, Niclas, or anybody else is interested and/or willing to work on fragments and require-bundle this will be much appreciated and present no problem (until today, however, nobody volunteered to participate hence, the Rick centric repo layout). regards, Karl On 12/11/06, Niclas Hedhman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

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
