Hey everyone! <div><br></div><div>I wanted to bring up the idea of having a sandbox to add bits and other non-core extensions. We have a great bunch of people from the Seam development group looking to add their extensions, but they&#39;re either not on the roadmap for DS, or are very far down. I suggest we setup a sandbox on github people can write to, or at least do pull requests to so we can get some of these modules and other ideas in and pull them into core as we get there. We can also use this as a vetting ground for new ideas and other things which may not exactly fit into core, like the forge extension.</div>

<div><br></div><div>To do this we need to </div><div><br></div><div>1. Setup the repo somewhere</div><div>2. Seed it with a basic structure (pom.xml, contribution instructions, etc)</div><div>3. Get some CI setup somewhere (we could leverage OpenShift for this if needed)</div>

<div><br></div><div>What does everyone else think? I&#39;ve cc&#39;d the Seam Development list here hoping to get some feedback from them as well and hopefully rekindle some of the fire we had there.<br clear="all"><div>
