Re: [eclipse-pmc] Eclipse project incubators

Yes please! Eclipse PMC actually already
discussed and decided to terminate the old incubator projects. It has been
gathering dust at the bottom of my "TODO" list for about three
years. If you can help take this through the termination process it would
be much appreciated. Here is the original bug:

Greetings Eclipse PMC:

The Eclipse project has four incubators:

eclipse.incubator
eclipse.incubator.e4
eclipse.incubator.platform
eclipse.incubator.ufacekit

I believe that eclipse.e4 also operates as an incubator. It looks like
all actual incubator activity happens in e4.

AFAICT, only eclipse.e4 and eclipse.ufacekit are actually operational.

There is no UNIX group associated with eclipse.incubator or eclipse.incubator.platform.
By extension, neither of these projects have a Git repository or download
directory associated with them. AFAICT, there is no website associated
with either. The eclipse.incubator.e4 project does have an associated UNIX
group, but that group appears to own no resources.

None of these projects have any associated metadata [1,2,3], with one exception.
The eclipse.incubator project does have a download URL that points to a
page that contains links to the Equinox incubator downloads and a dead
link labeled "Platform Incubator Downloads". 

Am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure that we can terminate all three of these projects without
anybody noticing.

Thoughts, concerns?

What is the status of UFaceKit? Is it still a viable project?

Can I initiate the termination process for these projects?

eclipse.incubator
eclipse.incubator.e4
eclipse.incubator.platform
eclipse.incubator.ufacekit

Thanks,

Wayne
