This in particular is pertinent to myself - if Fuel is evicted from the big tent, then it's very likely that the JavaScript SDK collaboration (which includes several Fuel-UI developers and has _finally_ taken off) will grind to a halt. There's a halo effect to having a project under the big tent - contributors are already familiar with infra and procedure, and thus the barriers to cross-project bugfixes are way lower. Perhaps (using Fuel as an example) the "should this be in the big tent" metric is based on how many contributors contribute _only_ to Fuel, as opposed to Fuel-and-other-projects. As a countersuggestion - perhaps the solution to increasing project diversity is to reduce barriers to cross-project contributions. If the learning curve of project-shifting was reduced (by agreeing on common web frameworks, etc), it'd certainly make cross-project bug fixes way easier. Michael
