I think you have mixed several separate issues together here. SoC
is a different issue we have discussed before. I believe that the
community wants the Trifork donation to be a subproject, so will
enter via the incubator. The IBM donation falls into a separate

No, it's not clear to me what the "community" wants re TriFork. It
was my understanding that the code would come here along with some
people to work on it to get things going as fast as possible.
Note I wrote "I believe". Based on conversations I've had and from
what I have seen on this list, *I believe* that this code will
ultimately end up in a subproject.
Lets put aside "who" for now and come up with a generally
acceptable policy.
I agree that "who" doesn't matter, but *I believe* it is a case-by-
case basis decided based on the code base proposed for donation. An
ORB and a web-console are vastly different beasts.
I suggest that IBM makes the code visible, so Aaron and other can
begin to review it. If we decide that we want the code (and IBM
finishes legal), we check it into /geronimo/trunk/sandbox/$
{console-name-here}, work with it there until we are happy, and
then move it to /geronimo/trunk/applications/${console-name-here}.
As long as this becomes our general policy for accepting code and/
or new committers here, I'm fine with it.
What are you talking about? We are in a thread to discuss the
specific donation of the IBM console, not a thread to decide a policy
on general code donation and committers. If you would like to
discuss those, please start a new thread and address it directly.
