This is not a checklist, but guidelines to help communicate what -is expected of a Portals subproject. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Meritocracy.</b> Before submitting a proposal, be sure to study -the guidelines that <a href="guidelines.html">govern Portals subprojects</a>. -These guidelines explain our system of Meritocracy, which is the core -of the Portals Project. If the product developers do not wish to adopt -this system, then they should <b>not</b> donate their code -to the Project, and should look elsewhere for hosting. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Community.</b> Portals is a Project of the -<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.apache.org/";>Apache Software Foundation</a>. A prime purpose of -the ASF is to ensure that the Apache projects continue to exist beyond the -participation of individual volunteers. Accordingly, a prime criteria required -of any new subproject is that it already enjoys -- or has a high potential for -attracting -- an active community of developers and users. -</p> - - -<p> -Proposals for non-established products have been accepted, most often when -the proposal was tendered by experienced open source developers, who understand -what it means to build a community. -</p> - - -<p> -A design document, developer and user documentation, example code, and a -working implementation all help to increase the likelihood of acceptance. -Well-documented products tend to build stronger communities than -products that rely source code and JavaDocs alone. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Core Developers.</b> To considered, a product must have -at least 3 active developers who are already involved with the codebase. -This is an absolute minimum, and it is helpful for there to more than -three developers. It is <b>very</b> helpful for at least one of the -developers making the proposal to already be active in a Portals subproject or -other open source initiative. -</p> - - -<p> -At Portals, the core developers of a product (the -<a href="roles.html">Committers</a>) manage the codebases and make the -day-to-day development decisions. We are only interested in products -that can guided by their own development communities. Portals provides -the infrastructure, and some essential guidelines, but the Committers -must take responsibility for developing and releasing their own product. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Alignment with existing Apache subprojects.</b> Products that -are already used by existing subprojects make attractive candidates, since -bringing such a codebase into the Apache fold tends to benefit both -communities. Products with dependancies on existing Apache products are also -attractive for the same reason. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Scope.</b> Portals products are generally related to the -development of portlets, portals and portal-related frameworks, independant -of the implementation language. Most of the current efforts evolve around -the JSR-168 Java Portlet Specification and the OASIS WSRP4J standard. Proposals -for products outside this venue will have greater difficulty in being accepted. -</p> - -</div> - - -<div class="section"> -<h2>Warning Signs<a name="Warning_Signs"></a></h2> - - -<p> -These are anti-patterns that we have found detrimental to the success of -a proposal. Some of these are lesson learned from the school of -hard-knocks, others are taken from proposals which have been rejected in -the past. All will raise a red flag, making it unlikely that a proposal -will be accepted. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Orphaned products.</b> Products which have lost their -corporate sponsor (for whatever reason) do <b>not</b> make good candidates. -These products will lack a development community and won't -have the support needed to succeed under the Portals umbrella. -</p> - - -<p> -For example, we have seen proposals that contain paragraphs like this: -</p> - - -<div class="source"> -<pre> -FooProduct is currently a production quality product, and in -fact is being used a live website. It was developed as a -product by FooCompany, with the intention that we would sell -it. However, due to various economic factors such as the -decline in FooProduct's intended market and the -recent difficulties in obtaining venture capital, we have -decided that at this time it is not feasible for us to -continue in that direction. -</pre></div> - - - -<p> -The alleged quality of a product is not the prime criteria. To be -accepted, we must believe that a product will attract volunteers to -extend and maintain it over the long term. A product like this, -arriving with no volunteer developers or open source community, does -not further <a href="mission.html">Portals' mission</a>, and would -not be accepted. -</p> - - -<p> -We generally recommend that an orphaned product start with an -independent host, and consider making a proposal after it has started -to build a community. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Inexperience with open source.</b> We often receive -proposals that start with "We will open our software if you -choose to accept it." This is the wrong way to approach the proposal -process. A closed source project does not have an open community, and -so we have no way to tell if the developers can work in an open source -environment. Products that have lived on their own and have started -to develop their own community, have a much better chance of being -accepted. -</p> - - -<p> -If the product's developers have not worked with open source before, -it is recommended that they spend some time contributing to an existing -open source project before trying to manage one of their own. Since -Portals subprojects are managed by their own Committers, it is -important that a new product supported by people who understand -how open source works. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Homogenous developers.</b> Apache communities attract -developers with diverse backgrounds. Products with a tightly-knit -team of developers may have difficulty shepherding new developers -into the fold. It is vital that we believe the developers will -discuss development issues openly with the community, and -<b>not</b> make decisions behind closed doors. We are -especially wary of products with developers who all share a -common employer or geographic location. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>Reliance on salaried developers.</b> Portals has strong ties -to the business community. Many of our developers are encouraged by their -employers to work open source projects as part of their regular job. -We feel that this is a Good Thing, and corporations should be entitled to -contribute to open source, same as anyone else. However, we are wary of -products which rely strongly on developers who only work on open source -products when they are paid to do so. A product at Portals must continue -to exist beyond the participation of individual volunteers. We believe the -best indicator of success is when developers volunteer their own time to -work open source projects. -</p> - - -<p> -<b>No ties to other Apache products</b>. Products -<b>without</b> a tie to any existing Apache product, and that have -strong dependencies on alternatives to Apache products, do not make good -candidates. Many Apache products are related through common licenses, -technologies, and through their volunteers.

This is not a checklist, but guidelines to help communicate what +is expected of a Portals subproject. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Meritocracy.</b> Before submitting a proposal, be sure to study +the guidelines that <a href="guidelines.html">govern Portals subprojects</a>. +These guidelines explain our system of Meritocracy, which is the core +of the Portals Project. If the product developers do not wish to adopt +this system, then they should <b>not</b> donate their code +to the Project, and should look elsewhere for hosting. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Community.</b> Portals is a Project of the +<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.apache.org/";>Apache Software Foundation</a>. A prime purpose of +the ASF is to ensure that the Apache projects continue to exist beyond the +participation of individual volunteers. Accordingly, a prime criteria required +of any new subproject is that it already enjoys -- or has a high potential for +attracting -- an active community of developers and users. +</p> + + +<p> +Proposals for non-established products have been accepted, most often when +the proposal was tendered by experienced open source developers, who understand +what it means to build a community. +</p> + + +<p> +A design document, developer and user documentation, example code, and a +working implementation all help to increase the likelihood of acceptance. +Well-documented products tend to build stronger communities than +products that rely source code and JavaDocs alone. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Core Developers.</b> To considered, a product must have +at least 3 active developers who are already involved with the codebase. +This is an absolute minimum, and it is helpful for there to more than +three developers. It is <b>very</b> helpful for at least one of the +developers making the proposal to already be active in a Portals subproject or +other open source initiative. +</p> + + +<p> +At Portals, the core developers of a product (the +<a href="roles.html">Committers</a>) manage the codebases and make the +day-to-day development decisions. We are only interested in products +that can guided by their own development communities. Portals provides +the infrastructure, and some essential guidelines, but the Committers +must take responsibility for developing and releasing their own product. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Alignment with existing Apache subprojects.</b> Products that +are already used by existing subprojects make attractive candidates, since +bringing such a codebase into the Apache fold tends to benefit both +communities. Products with dependancies on existing Apache products are also +attractive for the same reason. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Scope.</b> Portals products are generally related to the +development of portlets, portals and portal-related frameworks, independant +of the implementation language. Most of the current efforts evolve around +the JSR-168 Java Portlet Specification and the OASIS WSRP4J standard. Proposals +for products outside this venue will have greater difficulty in being accepted. +</p> + +</div> + + +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="Warning_Signs"></a>Warning Signs</h2> + + +<p> +These are anti-patterns that we have found detrimental to the success of +a proposal. Some of these are lesson learned from the school of +hard-knocks, others are taken from proposals which have been rejected in +the past. All will raise a red flag, making it unlikely that a proposal +will be accepted. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Orphaned products.</b> Products which have lost their +corporate sponsor (for whatever reason) do <b>not</b> make good candidates. +These products will lack a development community and won't +have the support needed to succeed under the Portals umbrella. +</p> + + +<p> +For example, we have seen proposals that contain paragraphs like this: +</p> + + +<div class="source"> +<pre> +FooProduct is currently a production quality product, and in +fact is being used a live website. It was developed as a +product by FooCompany, with the intention that we would sell +it. However, due to various economic factors such as the +decline in FooProduct's intended market and the +recent difficulties in obtaining venture capital, we have +decided that at this time it is not feasible for us to +continue in that direction. +</pre></div> + + + +<p> +The alleged quality of a product is not the prime criteria. To be +accepted, we must believe that a product will attract volunteers to +extend and maintain it over the long term. A product like this, +arriving with no volunteer developers or open source community, does +not further <a href="mission.html">Portals' mission</a>, and would +not be accepted. +</p> + + +<p> +We generally recommend that an orphaned product start with an +independent host, and consider making a proposal after it has started +to build a community. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Inexperience with open source.</b> We often receive +proposals that start with "We will open our software if you +choose to accept it." This is the wrong way to approach the proposal +process. A closed source project does not have an open community, and +so we have no way to tell if the developers can work in an open source +environment. Products that have lived on their own and have started +to develop their own community, have a much better chance of being +accepted. +</p> + + +<p> +If the product's developers have not worked with open source before, +it is recommended that they spend some time contributing to an existing +open source project before trying to manage one of their own. Since +Portals subprojects are managed by their own Committers, it is +important that a new product supported by people who understand +how open source works. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Homogenous developers.</b> Apache communities attract +developers with diverse backgrounds. Products with a tightly-knit +team of developers may have difficulty shepherding new developers +into the fold. It is vital that we believe the developers will +discuss development issues openly with the community, and +<b>not</b> make decisions behind closed doors. We are +especially wary of products with developers who all share a +common employer or geographic location. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>Reliance on salaried developers.</b> Portals has strong ties +to the business community. Many of our developers are encouraged by their +employers to work open source projects as part of their regular job. +We feel that this is a Good Thing, and corporations should be entitled to +contribute to open source, same as anyone else. However, we are wary of +products which rely strongly on developers who only work on open source +products when they are paid to do so. A product at Portals must continue +to exist beyond the participation of individual volunteers. We believe the +best indicator of success is when developers volunteer their own time to +work open source projects. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>No ties to other Apache products</b>. Products +<b>without</b> a tie to any existing Apache product, and that have +strong dependencies on alternatives to Apache products, do not make good +candidates. Many Apache products are related through common licenses, +technologies, and through their volunteers. Products without licensing, +technology, or volunteers in common will have trouble attracting a +strong community. +</p> + + +<p> +<b>A fascination with the Apache brand.</b> The +<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.apache.org/LICENSE";>Apache Software License</a> is quite +liberal and allows for the code to used in commercial products. This +can induce people to donate a commercial codebase to the ASF, allow it +developed as open source for a time, and then convert it back to +commercial use.
