An important thing to do, I think, is to fix our process, so that creating a new lab isn't quite so onerous. The current process (proposal, vote, and so on) raises the bar enough higher than github that it's hard to see a benefit over just doing it over there. I think that labs, as labs was intended, would be that an member could create a lab by wishing it so. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
