for details.
Status of the Sandbox Components
Check the status of a sandbox component on
the sandbox wiki page
or just ask on one of
the commons mailing lists
A Sandbox component is considered active if there is a definite plan
for promotion to the Commons Proper and there is an active group of
existing committers working on a component.
A Commons Sandbox component is considered dormant if there is little
recent development activity and no individual or group of individual
commiters has emerged to champion its ultimate promotion to
Commons Proper. See the Commons
dormant components
webpage for a list of Commons components currently considered dormant.
A Commons Sandbox component is considered inactive if there is
no active development for a sustained period of time.
