Hi Ross!!! I didn't intend to let the board take a decision, but OTOH asking for suggestions, sorry for not having been so clear.
I'm more than pleased to tell you my little story :) When I started my Lab, I just joined the Cocoon PMC, I was a fresh Apache committer, and didn't have many contacts here at ASF, so the only chance I had to give Amber enough visibility and catch someone else's interest, to build a community around it, was via Lab. And it worked because it became an Incubator, without looking for initial developers, but they asked me if I was interested on it. Anyway, during the time I became Commons PMC, and started using the Commons Sandbox to propose improvements for Commons components, just didn't have enough interesting ideas to propose new Labs, otherwise I'm still interested on it. Have a nice day, all the best!
