[Psc] GXM sandbox

[Tim Schaub]

All the previous answers are in line with my thinking.

1) We should have explicit permission to host Sencha Touch.
2) We should work toward components that could be used with either 
Sencha Touch or Ext JS 4.
3) As with GeoExt development, the best designed components are used in 
several (or many) different applications before they can really be 
brought into the core.

I look forward to seeing this progress - and being involved where possible.
