Albert is correct. Nevertheless we should probably have some kind of "Incubator" or staging area for new code (KDE calls this "kdeplayground", see https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground). Once a class is mature, it should be moved into the correct module or make it a module of its own (if it already isn't its own module inside the playground area, then it would just need moving). The more common case will be a (partial) rewrite of an existing class/module, which will come naturally as a git clone of an existing released module. > Non-Trolls are capable of writing > quality code too you know This is very important to answer whether or not to have a module with more relaxed barriers for _releasing_. I don't think we should have that. When a class or module is considered good for release, then its just that. Everything else will lead to people moving their code into this repo in order to avoid getting things right, which hurts the Project's reputation (more than Nokia's).
