Indigo release has been completed, a GEF experimental branch is
created by forking the GEF 3.7 code-base into a Git repository
(possibly located next to Zest 2.0, so that all experimental GEF
components can be found in one place).   2. The experimental
branch created thereby will live parallel to the GEF HEAD
branch, considering all its API as provisional unless explicitly

documentation of the ongoing work (similar to Zest 2.0).   3.
Committers working on the experimental branch will be
responsible for ensuring fixes made to GEF HEAD also get applied
to the experimental branch.   4. Graduation of the experimental
branch back into GEF HEAD will have to imply that a proper
compatibility layer is in place so all
