I like these two: >> - perhaps provide a really low overhead type of lab where you don't >> need a vote to accept it, create doap files, or update websites etc, >> more like just an svn sandbox to hold some code
when i outlined my json component, I was not sure how much work I could put into it. Feeling was, if you create a lab, you have to show some committment for it. May it be true or not, it was my feeling. >> - allow releases. Just need to make sure its all clearly identified >> as not an official ASF release. > > Any suggestions on how to "clearly identify as not"? everybody can make a release out of asf code if he wishes. I think not using the word "apache" in the name would work out well. Having the term "unofficial" in the release name would be another plus. For example, if the lab is named Apache Lab Foo: grobmeier-foo.zip alab-unofficial-foo.zip or something like that. A notice file can hold the words: "Grobmeier Foo is based on Apache Lab Foo. Apache Lab Foo is experimental code and not considered as stable". Announcement should not be spread through official channels, but announced on the labs mailinglist Christian > > >> - encourage the ASF GSoC students to do their projects here.
