Modules from contrib can be moved to the main area if there is the fealing that this is an important part of sling and/or this is backed up by several developers. Now, here again, the idea is to not polute the main area with hundreds of bundles which are not maintained anymore.
Or in other words, from a users perspective: if something is in the main area, users can be sure that they are helped if they have problems etc. whereas if something is in contrib it might be that there is no activate developer (anymore) Ok that's a long anwswer :) Now for the gwt stuff I'm not sure - I'm not against moving it, however I have the feeling that atm there is no general interest in it. So count this as a 0 :) Regards Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler [email protected]
