Vote on naming alternatives for this new wiki: > design.xwiki.org > incubator.xwiki.org +1 for design.xwiki.org -0 for incubator.xwiki.org, "incubator" means implementations waiting to be approved in some mainstream repository for me not design and architecture. It would make more sense used as the name of a github repository/organization associated to this wiki for example. > > *C*.
