Quote from email 31.05 (wow, this is a long lasting discussion): I asked: "1) I would like to create a Struts2 plugin. It is probably just one or two classes and if the Struts people like it, it will probably not stay there for too long. Is this a case for the incubator?" You responded: "This sounds like a case for the struts project. If they don't want it then apache-extras.org is the right home for it (perhaps as a Struts PMC sponsored struts-plugins project)." I asked then, if a personal release would be ok from Labs code. You said, yes, that would be ok. We have not discussed an official -experimental release at this point of time. Later in this mail you wrote: "Labs is a place for experimentation, not a place for developing software that is intended to be used. Your use case sounds more like software for use than an experiment." Which led me to the assumption that a Struts plugin might not be experimental enough. If every idea/experiment is welcome at the Labs to support inter-project collaboration (oh I love this term somehow), I would like to suggest to highlight this on the labs site as it is very important (at least for me): I would have choosen labs instead of googlecode for the struts plugin, and now I am looking for a place to host some ideas I do with Apache Cayenne. But as my stuff is "intended to be used", I have not considered Labs. Maybe its all just a big misunderstanding ;-) Cheers --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
