Yeah. Possibly a bit more detail than mine if it's just an idea - I have the advantage of being able to link to a page on them already etc. > To be sure we're on the same page, I am using: > +1 = in favor/will help > +0 = in favor/will not help > -0 = don't feel strongly; don't need; won't block > -1 = against > > > > > > payload - self-extracting jar builder.

I'm the only committer on all three, so as I understand it I could just commit straight into the Sandbox, however that would be a bit weird as these are released projects and it would be odd to then sit in the Sandbox. Alternatively, making each one a separate project in the Incubator and building up a community for what is a Commons component sized library will be an uphill task. It's almost like we need a project in Incubator to bring components in [for example; not-yet-commons ssl if the author is still interested]. We would bring them in there and when we felt it was good we would move them over to Commons. We'd be the accepting community, so there wouldn't be a need to drum up a big community.
