I'll admit confusion here myself - my understanding has been that we were going to go through the incubator phase, which makes a lot of sense to me as it gives us and the community time to come to an understanding on the details of the code and what should be modified before it is incorporated into the base set. (Small example: we require JDK 1.4, and use JDK 1.4 logging. OK, or not? Not looking to open the discussion on that one right now, just using it as an example) -- Adam
