There should be no secret decisions on anything.  That would be very 
harmful.  I cannot overemphasize the importance of this being an open 
project and community effort.

Personally I think the work is interesting but unfortunately didn't have 
time to look at it - I was under a (self imposed) crunch to get the CSS 
stuff limping then there was Christmas vacation...

I'd say that in general the easier you can make it for something to be 
consumed then the higher the adoption potential.  And getting it into the 
e4 CVS repo helps since its a known location, aimed at a common effort, 
with all legal checks satisfied.  The builds will help people evaluate 
with ease.

The first step is to submit a CQ via the eclipse portal to get IP approval 
for the code being put into CVS under e4.  If you're unsure how to do that 
(it's not obvious), drop me a note and I can help guide.  Once its passed 
they will give you the "commit to CVS" approval, and from there we can 
help with creation location and build.

Regards,
Kevin

PS. I'm glad Tom and you raised this topic.  I was concerned about this 
kind of misinterpretation and should've followed up the e4 call with a 
note in this list.
