For completeness, a project is "just a container project" by
convention only. The formal notion of "container" was removed from
the EDP some time ago. It is perfectly natural/reasonable for a
mid-level project to have code/resources and committers. Whether or
not that makes sense here is a different question.
If creating a whole separate project is the right thing to do, then
we should do that. My primary concern is that we have a lot of
modeling projects with 1 or 2 active committers and I often hear
complains that maintaining a project is "too hard" or "too much
work". By creating a new project, we're adding to that work.
I'm also not entirely comfortable with a project made entirely of
components that "usually evolve once a year". Though, I guess that
Orbit sets a precedent here.
Having said all that, the "Initial Committers" section is really an
"Initial Contribution" section. Who are the initial committers? We
also need a "Why Eclipse?" section as defined by the proposal
template.

Well, this functionality is (mostly) independent from the UML
metamodel per se and would have a different lifecycle and set of
committers... and the MDT project is just a container project, so
I'm not sure it would make sense for it to be hosted at that
level.

Hi Kenn.
Does this really need to be a separate project? We can set
up all the things you list, website, mailing list, etc.
without creating a whole new project.
Does it make sense to consider extending the scope of
UML2? Or might it be a resource that maintained by the MDT
project?

The Modeling project would
like to propose creation of a new "UML2 Profiles"
subproject of MDT. The proposed project is
about providing implementations of "standard" UML
profiles and a repository in/from which to
discover/install them.
