Thanks for your comments. I appreciate your goal to keep quality and committer involvement high. I was mainly thinking about the role Nebula serves in gathering open-source SWT widgets in the same place. Perhaps there is opportunity for a kind of "Tier 0", which would give authors a place to describe their widgets and link to projects hosted outside the Eclipse Foundation. This would extend some of the benefits of Nebula as a one-stop-shop for UI designers looking to expand their options.

If he was interested in contributing he'd be very welcome, but we aren't really in the business of soliciting others. I really want to make sure all contributors and committers on Nebula are individually motivated. I'd rather potential contributors take the first steps. I want to prevent Nebula from becoming a fire-and-forget type of project. We do not have a cadre of full-time resources who can maintain and upgrade components. We depend on the component authors to themselves become committers. If Mr Zeiger is interested in contributing and becoming a committer - thats great and we'd welcome him. His components are still free and EPL-ed so there's not too much need to bring them into Nebula unless he's motivated to. Regards, -Chris
