Being an incubation project does not really exclude to produce a 1.0 release… SWTBot is a 2.2.1 and is developed as an incubation project… So having a e4 tools 1.0 is possible...
I think that creating a new project will not really change the result.. But changing the way to work on it probably…
As Lars said, we work on this project on our spare time. This is the life of this kind of project. No problem about that for me. We try to do our best to achieve a good product. But even if we do our best, a direction must be defined more clearly. Today bugs are opened more for personal reasons (i would like to see this like this) or for urgency, rather than for global or strategical reasons. May be some bugs could be identified as ‘strategic' and they would open a discussion about it… We could may be schedule 2 or 3 strategic bugs per release ? And in our bugzilla queries we could have them as a common goal besides our personal bugs.
Something that could be more efficient also, would be to schedule a real physical meeting during each eclipse con since we are almost all attending. We could prepare a set of issues to be discussed… Today this kind of meeting is hold by BOF where the subjects are not really defined and the BOF itself is organized if we want/think to organize it (during last Econ US I asked for one but it was not really scheduled).
As Jonas said, the discussion about the dialogs in model has been done a year ago, but it must continue to know what we can do with it… The new discussion could be in one of the issues of this meeting after speaking about it on mailing list...
And to finish, integrating E4 stuff in the mars PDE would be probably a good idea

About a new e4 tools project? I think that is not necessary, we could graduate e4 tools also from the existing project. The issue IMHO is that that we need a new project but that no one does real work on this item at the moment.
FYI - I plan to integrate the e4 project wizard for Mars into PDE.
Best regards, Lars
