Thanks Chris.

Hi Nebula team, the Technology PMC is reviewing projects and here is the
review for your project:
The project isn't conforming to the incubation branding (
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Conforming_Incubation_Branding).
It would be fantastic if the Nebula project could take the initiative and
fix this so it can take advantage of the Parallel IP process.
The committers appear to come from a diverse group of companies and
individuals, this is a good thing.
The mailing list isn't really active. Development doesn't seem to reflect
this as there is work going on in the source repository. The newsgroups are
pretty active which signifies the project has a good user community.
The project plan [1] is not yet in the standard format... I couldn't really
find a plan at all. Should the plan be scoped to each Nebula widget or
should it be something higher level like "get nebula widgets on the Galileo
train"
The IP Log [2] appears complete, but I'm not sure. The Nebula project should
strive to use the Automated IP Log process now [3].
I've noticed that the Nebula project has a great website show casing the
widgets. However, the widgets available on the website are out of date. This
is most likely because Nebula doesn't have an automated build system for the
various widgets. Does the Nebula project need help in this regard? I think
it would be beneficial to the consumers of the Nebula widgets if there was
an automated build system in place. Maybe community members like Nick Boldt
can help, or the Nebula could be the guinea pigs for the Common Build
Infrastructure work [4].
Currently, Chris Gross from IBM is the project lead from Nebula, how about
nominating another person from Nebula to join the project leadership? I
think Tom Schindl has done a good job in keeping up with the Nebula
newsgroup and mailing list. This can help split some of the workload amongst
project leads and not only have Chris Gross in a position to approve things.
One question the Nebula team can ask themselves is how to make it easier for
people to come in and bring in their widgets? I think if an automated build
is setup and the project conforms to the IP process, it would be easier for
people to come on board.
