You can release every day at Github sure, but you can’t call those releases
Apache releases. To be released by the Apache Software Foundation means
something very specific.
I think the purpose of Labs should be this:
“Labs is the place where you develop software with the goal of introducing that
software to the Apache Incubator”.
So you *really* believe that an labs being a incubator-incubator or
pre-incubator will provide enough value to attract committers to start
here instead of github?
Isn't it exactly what labs are about today? Labs didn't attract many
projects in the past years, what makes us think that they will in the
future?
The point at which you enter the Apache Incubator is the point at which you
want to make your first release.
This discussion should really happen in collaboration with the incubator folks.
Ideally Labs and the Incubator should work closely together, or the Labs
project should even be a subproject of the incubator.
My understanding is that projects are meant to graduate out of the
incubator. This proposal implies that labs@ are not meant to graduate,
right?
