Hi everyoneSorry to see you interpret things this way. I'll do my best to help out. I have spent enough of my life on Batik that I would not just dump it :-), but there are only so many hours in a day. I hope someone else can step up and represent Batik on the XML Graphics PMC.
I'd like to make another attempt to push the XML Graphics idea a bit.
We're at a stage where we'd have to gather the candidates for the new
PMC. That's where it gets complicated. Obviously, Batik is practically
in a stand-still. Both Vincent and Thomas are practically unavailable
right now. How do we handle the Batik side for new PMC? Any idea, Thomas,
when and if you can get back to the project? I know Vincent will try to
help out on the transition of Batik into the XML Graphics umbrella, but
it feels like a dump right now.
The FOP team will most likely not beYes, I agree we need someone who is more dedicated to Batik.
able to maintain the project.
I'd personally have as many people on the new PMC as possible even if itDo people on the PMC need to be commiters? If so, then the options for Batik are going to be pretty limited.
means having more FOP people on it than Batik people. But having only
two (or less) on the PMC from the Batik side seems not to be a good
thing.
Any ideas how to proceed? Opinions? I'm out of ideas right now. AfterWhat do you think needs to happen for the formation of the new PMC (apart from finding volunteers)? What will people need to do: set up a new project repositiory? set-up/moderate mailing lists? And what do you expect the changes to be for FOP and Batik, for commiters, developers and users? For example, will there be web site changes, release changes etc..?
all, we have to finish reorganizing the XML project sooner or later,
right?
Thanks, Vincent.
