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?
+1 for move to TLP, but the project needs to shift its emphasis from maven.
Currently the Jira description still states:
"Continuum is a continuous integration tool designed specifically for use with maven
project."
It would also be good to have a comparison page with other open-source build
tools - eg CruiseControl.
Cheers
