RE: [tools-pmc] RE: [ve-dev] Contribution on VE with XML editor

Title: Message
Ladies and gentlemen:
You are the tools PMC, so I am asking for guidance.
The VE project is in recovery mode.  I just want to find a solution (I like the approach suggested by Jeff and Ed to have something like a tools incubator) to welcome resonably quickly new committers which are joinning with significant pieces of code that they have built on top of VE.
I consider that important for the project and I want to benefit from the // ip process such as not to loose the fledgling momentum that is building around VE.
In contrast to many other projects, this is an all volunteer project and to bring in good souls fast (especially bring in good souls that come with a significant piece of code) is important for VE.
Whatever the solution you pick is fine
Shall I:
a) start our own VE incubator
b) work so that we start a common tools incubator to incubate for all tools projects
 
And if you consider that neither a or b is acceptable to you, that is fine. I just need to know.
There are always alternatives. Sourceforge and Google are some of them.
Cordially
--
Cheers
Philippe

I don't follow this.  the only thing that is an incubator is a subproject (according to the current development process).  so as Ed points out, the question is whether to have a Tools Incubator project that has N protentially largely unrelated components to incubate stuff for various other Tools projects or to have N Tools projects each of which is an incubator in its own right.  The former is simpler from a process point of view but perhaps less than optimal from a community point of view.

I agree. I'm not sure why the subproject would be an incubator. Why couldn't
we just put the code in an incubator.
