Hi Austin, I see your point of having two locations that seem to serve a similar purpose. Actually, the sandbox has become a place for components that are maintained by the RAP project (not the RAP Incubator) but are not part of the official build. These components are not in an incubation phase. Thus we would like them out of the incubator.
We discussed this and came up with the idea to rename the "sandbox" to "extras". Would that be make its purpose more clear? Regarding the upload widget: this component already passed the IP process, and there are plans to graduate it (see bug 190763). We still need to sort out what needs to be done for a graduation and discuss this with Stefan, who maintains this widget. If it turns out that it cannot be graduated in a reasonable time frame (say until 1.4), I agree we should move it to the incubator.
