Re: [nebula-dev] New component proposals

+1 on all for me (except the Ribbon, I shouldn't vote on my own code)
I can see the issues and it's part of why I never submitted it to Nebula because I figured it would never pass IP. If it does, great! If not, I guess it will keep on living on on Hexapixel but I'll have to set up a public source control repo for it, and it's a bit hard to track bugs of course. I appreciate Microsoft doing what they did instead of actively hunting down any look-alike widgets, but at the same time it's a bit of a shame.
In any case, all the other widgets look really fantastic, I look forward to using most of them =)

The Ribbon is very cool but I'm skeptical that we'll be able to pull it into Nebula. MS has stated that the Ribbon is their IP and they have a specific agreement they want you to sign to use one of your own. I believe the Eclipse guidelines expect you to have full patent-free rights to any contributions and be able to grant those patents to the Eclipse. IANAL so I guess we'll just see what happens with the Eclipse IP process get started.
