APACHE AVALON PROJECT STATUS: -*-indented-text-*-
Last modified at [$Date: 2002/12/02 11:17:35 $]


Release:
none ATM; still defining new container plan and how to best keep
development of current code go ahead without impacting negatively on
the new work.


Resolved Issues:

o There is an Avalon repository called avalon-sandbox to contain
all non-released code. It has its own site to make less confusion
with released products.

o Existing committers can start new projects without a
detour to the Incubator by using the avalon-sandbox, and
must meet the (TBD) goals of Apache Avalon.
These new components must be approved by the PMC before
being accepted in the endorsed repositories, and must meet the
(TBD) goals of Apache Avalon.


Pending issues:
o Coming up with a set of bylaws for the project

o Define the terms for serving as a Chair

o Definition of a new contract for the Context interface, which
is the pivot issue of our component protability.

o Switch to a avalon.apache.org website and @avalon.apache.org
mailing lists.

o Use a unified avalon-dev mailing list (and avalon-user remains separate)

+0: crafterm, cziegeler
-1: hammant, leif, donaldp

o Voting will follow the "standard Apache voting guidelines"

[ be nice to refer to an Incubator doc here ]

o All code donations [to the ASF, destined for Apache Avalon]
arrive via the Incubator, unless the Incubator states they can
be placed directly into Avalon.

Project Mission:

What is the project's mission? Our statement of goals/mission/vision
should arise from the answers to the following and other questions:

- Should we have a minimum set of requirements before components
are released?
