Re: [technology-pmc] Technology Project Charter

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with removing the "incubator stream" and "not ready for
production" tone.

I'd rather not, however, define Technology as the "place to go when
nobody else will take you" :-) (even though I may have described it
using similar terms in the past). Maybe we can come up with something
better.

Thanks,

Wayne
