Hi all,
It almost goes without saying that I'm definitely giving my +1 to this
initiative.
I'm happy to see efforts and community converging: this will mean
better service and support for the CMIS growing community.
And I'm sure that the high professionality of all the old/new members
will ensure a smooth convergency/coexistence path for the two codebases.
Thanks for this!

Hi,
Most of you on this list have heard about OpenCMIS. The OpenCMIS
project has been founded by Alfresco, Open Text and SAP to build
CMIS related libraries and tools for Java. In December last year we
proposed a new Incubator project. Based on subsequent discussions we
now would like to follow Florents and Jukkas invitation and
contribute our code to Chemistry. With this email I would like to
start a discussion if this is feasible and how this would look like.
OpenCMIS currently consists of the following parts:
- A low level CMIS client library. It is feature complete, supports
the AtomPub and Web Services binding and has been tested against a
number of different CMIS repositories (OpenCMIS, Alfresco, Open
Text, Chemistry, and a few more that I can't name here). There is a
binding independent test suite that covers 3/4 of the CMIS
specification.
- A high level CMIS client library that sits on top of the low level
client. It provides a nice Java API, session handling, etc. It is
currently under development.
- A CMIS server. It is feature complete and supports the AtomPub and
Web Services binding.
- An InMemory test repository for the CMIS server. A file system
based test repository is under development and should be available
soon.
- A web based browser for CMIS repositories (AtomPub only).
Our main priority at the moment is to finish the high level client.
The next step is an extensive test framework. There are also several
ideas for CMIS tools based on the client library.
The code is already open source under the Apache license and can be
found here: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opencmis/trunk
Please let us know what you think.
Regards,
Florian
