I agree, I think continuum would make a good TLP and move out from the direct maven umbrella. We can attract committers that might not be totally driven with the maven2 koolaid if we are not strictly associated with that project.
I know there are a lot of plans for continuum in the relatively near future and I think its an ideal time to take continuum up as a TLP. As for more committers, I think they will come with time and some of the work that is planned. Emm and I work for the same company but olamy is really active and new committer, and Rahul will probably be stepping up some more as we start working on some of the refactoring bits that have been discussed some (and he gets that whole marriage deal worked out). Anyway, I support this and it has been kicked around in the background for a while now. jesse On 9/21/07, Emmanuel Venisse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > At the begin, Continuum was designed to support maven2 projects so we > thought it was good to put it under the maven umbrella. > But now it supports other project types (ANT, shell scripts) too so it > isn't centered on maven projects. > > An other thing is that we have lot of users (not only maven users) with > actually 450 subscribers to the users list, and I think we can get more with > a TLP project. > > My last point is that with the maven project, it isn't easy to add new > committers because a new committer have the hand on all maven umbrella code > and not only one project. > > So I think it would be good for Continuum to become a Top Level Project at > ASF and the continuum community will have more chance to grow. > > My concern for the moment is we don't have enough committer from different > companies, To be stable, at least 3 committers from different companies > would be good. > > WDYT? > > Emmanuel > > -- jesse mcconnell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
