Hi Daniel, Incubator components are included "as-is" in the source distribution as a service to the community. The bar for inclusion is low, and there is very little QA attention paid to them.
Inclusion in the incubator can be an effective way of putting a proposal on a track for addition to the platform itself -- newcombobox/datacombobox is a good example here. However (and here newcombobox is a bit of an exception), for inclusion in the platform proper a proposal still has to follow the RFC process (see http:// wiki.openlaszlo.org/Enhancement_Proposals) and be accepted by the community. Given this, I think it is very likely that a given incubator component will change as it is migrated to the platform. It is also possible that an incubator component will change substantially from release to release -- the focus in the incubator is less on continuity and compatibility and more on development of "best practices" and evolution of solutions. jim On May 30, 2006, at 8:42 AM, Daniel Salama wrote: > Can anyone explain to me or point me to where I can read more about > the incubator directory? > > I just learned about it and would like to know more about the process > followed for these "components" to graduate to standard lps > distribution.
