RE: [eclipselink-dev] Incubation component minutes

[Douglas Clarke <DOUGLAS.CLARKE@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the branch where an incubation project is created is really up to the committers involved. If they want to build functionality upon a stable release then I would recommend creating the incubation project in the release's branch. If they plan to interact with current functionality under development in trunk then trunk is where it should be.

The real challenge is at the point of branching. When we branch trunk the incubators are automatically branched and it will be up to the owner to perform a transaction deleting the incubator from any branch where it is not required.

Communicating all of this will be up to the committer and the vehicle should be the incubator's wiki page.

I will proceed with PMC approval for the new component.

I wasn't clear in my first email.  We all agreed that we should create the componant.  The discussion point was around whether the directory should be in trunk or parrallel.  

Doug has proposed trunk.  Any objections?  I know that there were a couple of concerns brought up durring the meeting about what that means to branching.

I believe Tom's topics listed below should be clearly addressed in the Wiki page each incubation project/component maintains.

I also believe that these should incubate within trunk. It will be up to each owner to manage the state of the incubation effort when we branch. In general I would see these as remaining in trunk until they mature into the main code line.

We also need to identify what information should be provided for each incubation 
component. (perhaps in a readme)

- What version does it work with
- Any build instructions
- Any usage documentations
- Other things?
