Camel has come a long way since James first added it as a subproject of ActiveMQ. I mean, just looking at the list of nabble activity for apache projects (http://www.nabble.com/Apache-f90.html)... we're pretty high up there. We're also seeing adoption of Camel in many other integration style projects like ServiceMix, JBoss, OpenESB, etc. > > So I'd like to start writing a proposal that would be submitted to the > board. > We would have to come with a project charter, What exactly is a project charter? Is it like a scope kinda thing? Maybe we could just generalize the intro snippet on Camels homepage? Maybe something like this (forgive if this is not even close to what is needed :) ) The Apache Camel project aims to provide an easy way of creating Enterprise Integration Patterns<http://activemq.apache.org/camel/enterprise-integration-patterns.html>to implement routing and mediation rules by way of using Domain Specific Languages (or Fluent APIs)<http://activemq.apache.org/camel/dsl.html>. Camel can easily work directly with any kind of Transport<http://activemq.apache.org/camel/transport.html>or messaging model by having an easily extensible core. Apache Camel is a small library which has minimal dependencies<http://activemq.apache.org/camel/what-are-the-dependencies.html>for easy embedding in any Java application. So basically, - Its easy to use - Creates EIPs with DSLs - Highly extensible - Small and embedable core > decide what the PMC list > will be and find a PMC chair. Hmmm... maybe I'm not allowed to discuss this bit cause I'm not on the ActiveMQ PMC ;) > > Help and feedback welcomed ! > > -- > Cheers, > Guillaume Nodet > ------------------------ > Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/ > ------------------------ > Open Source SOA > http://fusesource.com > -- Cheers, Jon http://janstey.blogspot.com/
