There's a "value judgement" about quality / maturity that goes with "sandbox" - this sort of loosely implies newer projects that perhaps haven't been wrung out as much as other things.
When we created the addons, we moved most, but not all, of the sandbox projects that were add-on - like, to the addons. We left in the sandbox, things people felt were not ready or were not being maintained or brought up to a similar quality level as the other projects. Having said all of that, I would think that both Ruta and uimaFIT would be good to move up, and DUCC may be - but I'd like to see it have a release or 2 and get some general usage and a bit more stability before moving it. I think that it would be good to have the add-ons gradually change into each having their own release cycle, to make getting new releases of addons undergoing change / improvement, easier. It would also be good to have some way to continue to refer to all of the "current" level of add-ons, for those who just want them all... Just my 2 cents. -Marshall On 11/19/2013 4:52 AM, Richard Eckart de Castilho wrote: > Hi, > > I wonder if the current layout of the SVN makes sense as is, > in particular with respect to the sandbox and addons. > > The addons and sandbox have always been released en-bloc. > Now we have Ruta, uimaFIT and DUCC, which all have their > own release cycles.
