Re: [tools-pmc] GEF Incubator Proposal

I don't know, that's a good question.  I thought that incubators provided a number of advantages for new projects and new ideas, such as:
  • Parallel IP
  • Pre 1.0 (wrt to API)
  • A clear indication to early adopters of what to expect
I don't have a problem with creating this work as a sub component of GEF, although some of this work is clearly "incubation" style work (new ideas with undefined API that will hopefully graduate -- but that will depend on the quality and demand of the work being done).

Anthony, as the GEF lead, what do you tihnk?

cheers,
ian

I am on the record as really not liking incubators much. Could this work not be done as part of GEF proper?

A number of people have expressed interest in helping to define next generation graphical viewers and editors. Some have even worked towards this goal through the Summer of Code project (we actually have projects / patching sitting in bugzilla), while others are interested in getting involved now.

To help facilitate this, I have put together a GEF Incubator proposal. I'm wondering if someone on the tools PMC can review this, give feedback, and let me know how we proceed with this?

The proposal is available at:
