Re: [dsdp-pmc] DSDP Incubator Proposal
|
Having gone though this painful process myself before, I am very much in
favor of this idea!
I would propose that such a project will get the usual Wiki, Mailing
List, and a possible CVS/SVN space.
This would allow a project to at least function in "public" and give
others a chance to check it out and maybe become interested.
The toughest part for me was to get used to the "working on an outside
CVS", and a project could take this step gradually and move to this stage.
Once "code" is out there, it is also much easier to recruit and interest
other contributors.

Hi PMC,
I would like to propose that we create an Incubator project in DSDP.
I’d like to create a place where fledging project ideas and
technologies can incubate without the full overhead of project leadership.
Case in point, the VPP project proposal has been sitting out there for
a while now. Mark Burton (the proposed lead) has been working hard at
recruiting corporate sponsors for the project, but he’s meeting the
usual resistance (“we can’t give away our Eclipse technology”). There
are some potential technology contributions, but I don’t want to
create another DSDP project without a clear corporate sponsor and a
specific engineering commitment. An incubator would allow VPP to start
working on some technology pieces while still building a community.
Thoughts?
