RE: [tools-pmc] VE incubator - FOCUS

[Doug Schaefer <DSchaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Philippe, we are all volunteers here. Patience will get you farther than
confrontation.

We still need to get approval from the EMO that we can have components as
incubators. Like it or not, VE is the test case for this.

I have to reject all other options though:
- You can not have a sub-project under VE. VE already is a sub-project of
Tools and my understanding is that sub-projects can't have sub-projects.
- I will not support an incubator project under Tools where the code is
actually managed by an existing project. We don't have the PMC manpower to
keep an eye on it. And it will only confuse your efforts to build up the VE
community.

At the very least, you can start by getting the contribution into Bugzilla
so you can start the IP process. People can get a copy of it from there.
We've done that plenty of times in other projects.
