I am with Martin here. I think it is a natural process in an open source project. If the component is good and the community uses it, it is thoroughly documented and tested it will be promoted to tomahawk. IMO, the sandbox is the place for "under construction" components, prototypes and ideas, so everyone can give feedback to that. If the component is not good enough, it will never be promoted. Documentation and acceptable coverage javadocs should be a must for a component to be promoted. JUnit testing is more than recommendable to ensure stability of the component and to ease its maintaiment... IMO, having a component in the sandbox does not ensure it is future. The natural selection of the community will be the one to decide. The more prepared is a component, the more its chances to survive...
