At Wed's ASF Board meeting, the board took up the issue of whether the attic project's charter is appropriate for incubating code that has not yet graduated into a project.
The conclusion was no; the attic is chartered to handle the actual projects of the foundation (including incubator *graduates*). Perhaps a better solution is an incubator sandbox for code, where anything on its way in (lets say, reviewing new code for licensing issues) or its way into hibernation (e.g. a project which no longer has an active PPMC or community). Any podling or ASF project could invest in retrieving the artifact to resurrect all or part of the hibernating code, but until that happens, the code would be dormant. This would all remain under the umbrella of the incubator. WDYT?
