Thanks for your comments. I
appreciate your goal to keep quality and committer involvement high. I
was mainly thinking about the role Nebula serves in gathering open-source SWT
widgets in the same place. Perhaps there is opportunity for a kind of “Tier
0”, which would give authors a place to describe their widgets and link to
projects hosted outside the Eclipse Foundation. This would extend some of
the benefits of Nebula as a one-stop-shop for UI designers looking to expand
their options.

Hi Peter,
I don't believe I've spoken with Stefan Zeiger - certainly not recently. If
he was interested in contributing he'd be very welcome, but we aren't really in
the business of soliciting others. I really want to make sure all
contributors and committers on Nebula are individually motivated. I'd
rather potential contributors take the first steps. I want to prevent
Nebula from becoming a fire-and-forget type of project. We do not have a
cadre of full-time resources who can maintain and upgrade components. We
depend on the component authors to themselves become committers.
If Mr Zeiger is interested in contributing and becoming a committer - thats
great and we'd welcome him. His components are still free and EPL-ed so
there's not too much need to bring them into Nebula unless he's motivated to.
Regards,
-Chris
