Yes. Me too. > You don't. That wrong, I like Labs. I just want it to change so it is more useful (at least what I think useful means - others have other opinions) > Why is that a problem exactly? Please read the related discussion on the mailinglist. The original question was, "how to revive labs" to which I responded to. In my opinion Labs should a little bit. Otherwise things like github or apache-extras are more useful. Or what exactly are the reasons why you should go to labs? >>> The goal of labs is not to become successful, that you only become when you >>> build a community around yourself.

And this is exactly my problem because it is wrong what you said here. You cannot go to labs if there is a projects sandbox, even when you have Karma. It has been explained to me to go to apache-extras instead. See: http://s.apache.org/0Hf "Labs is a place for experimentation, not a place for developing software that is intended to be used." With this restriction I only see a few projects who might fit to labs. To go into labs, you need to be Apache Committer, have no interest in doing releases or build a community and experiment on things which are not intended to use or focused by another project. Labs 2 should sound like: be an Apache Committer and have no interest in community building. There was a long discussion around this already. I kindly refer you to spot the mailinglist, if you haven't done so.
