I'm all for moving to the Attic instead of a Commons Attic. Phil's email makes me think that we have very little that would be up for the Attic; but we do have some candidates and I'd like to see us clearly defining the dead from the dormant. Also to drive us to think about telling the dead from th

This is all true, but I would suspect that while components in "proper" are likely to follow this pattern, those in "dormant" have a high probability of staying that way, although there are some good ideas there. Ralph On Apr 11, 2011, at 7:58 AM, Phil Steitz wrote: > On 4/11/11 5:46 AM, Steph

My preference would be a standard labelling across commons (and later perhaps other projects). This is a lot easier to do than moving projects about in a VCS, changing JIRA, mailing lists etc. Plus it doesn't break any URLs. Simply have a label (ie. an icon like the CC icons) that summarises the

I'm having a problem distinguishing "dormant" from "attic". Just because one had releases and the other didn't they should go to different places for their final resting place? I'm not really clear on what happens to incubator projects that fail. I know there is no "incubator dormant" or "in

2011-04-10 Thread Henri Yandell
Currently we have 3 areas in which components live: * Proper: Released components. * Sandbox: Active pre-release components. * Dormant: Inactive pre-release components. There's an obvious (to me) need for Proper to split into active and inactive. Given the existing name, inactive proper = attic.
