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.

It makes coffee and will tie your shoes!

Maybe I should fold it into scraping-engine instead; then make that a
stand alone google project.

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.
