[sakai2-tcc] Infrastructure discussion for future meeting?

[Steve Swinsburg]

Are you saying that there will be no incubation process within Sakai, or
that you will oppose it, or that it wont matter too much when the process
comes along? If the latter then thats correct, it's not going to impact
anyone any more than adhering to a few simple principles.

I dont see incubation being any barrier to forward progress either, it's
simply a checklist of quality. We already have a number of requirements in
place that people need to adhere to, e.g. not using incompatible licenses,
making tools look roughly the same as the others, including i18n, ideally
including help etc. Then to get tools into core we need committers and
people running it in production etc. Those are already in place.

All the incubation process seeks to do is gather all of that and formalise
it so that people wanting to get an existing tool into a sponsored state
(e.g in to the core of CLE) know what standards need to be met in order for
that to happen.

cheers,
Steve
