RE: [technology-pmc] Do we really need the SOC project?

I agree that an "Eclipse Incubator" would be a more appropriate name for the Technology Project given its charter as it stands right now.

When I was first introduced to the Technology Project, it was described
as an incubator. It was envisioned as a place for projects to get
started before eventually moving to a more permanent home as they reach
a reasonable level of maturity. Over time, as other projects started
accepting new projects (and overlapping with the initial intent of the
Technology project), we became a place for projects that don't have a
tidy categorization elsewhere. I sort of like the "Emerging Technology"
nature of the project. Perhaps that might be a better name...
I agree that the name is confusing (most of the entries in the newsgroup
are about Eclipse platform technology).
