Sounds kool. One thing that jumps into my mind. Are we going to set a minimum bar of entry for commons projects? Or at least a minimum bar for release of said projects?
The kinda things I am thinking about is something like; * Must have a website that gives basic overview and detailed usage instructions * Must have unit tests that cover at least x% of codebase * Must have at least a two week freeze prior to release (or be releases be branched or whatever) etc. These could be rules or guidelines or whatever. The result is that the commons components jump in their terms of quality. They become much more highly respected. The negative being that it is a bunch more work and may deter people from developing stuff here. Thoughts?
