Well, form the list I wrote in this thread this is left from what I want for labs: - Labs is open for all kind of ideas; even plugins for existing projects, when asf people have no karma to the specific project. > But to summarize - the Incubator > is about learning how to build communities whereas labs is about > innovating/experimenting without the burden of community building. What some > of us are suggesting is that while innovating/experimenting you may want to > do a release. It seems 3 binding Lab-PMC votes are not enough for a release. If there are 3 people interested in the lab being released, the lab is ready for the incubator. (looking at William Rowes email from 02.09. // dd.MM.) Instead, personal releases without the Apache $x trademarks are possible. If the requirements for such a personal release are somewhere noted in the FAQ, it would be fine for me. To summarize my hopefully concrete enough suggestions: - Open Labs to any idea from any committer (even when there is a project sandbox for that idea) - Add a guide how to make personal releases on the labs side That would probably increase inter-project collaboration.
