Once we form up, we should be able to get everyone commit rights to > the hivemind CVS repository.Really? Without any patches/code? Unless they're already Jakarta (Apache?) committers, commit rights won't be immediately handed out [I reckon].
I don't have CVS rights, and actually I don't want to have them.
As I see HiveMind is a sort of 'Mikrokernel' and therefore the core is realy integrated and
there are some tricky issues. Until I realy understand this I certainly don't want to
directly commit in there.
Also the sourrounding Services respresent the overall idea (and belong
in this respect to the core). I am realy happy to send patches to Howard not mainly because each time
I have send a patch Howard made it better. No because he explained me how to better use and understand the overall idea.
Furtunately cvs-commiters are not everything a project needs. A project also needs field-testers (user which realy use HiveMind, have a good understandign of the idea and report activily back). They can find bugs you would otherwise never find. They can tell what is needed and send proptotypes (of course as patches).
I feel rather like such a tester. Let me tell you why:
I have been working on and thinking of (not continously or very activily) my own poject for now quite a time. Until recently this was more like a private hobby with no real purpose, but than in June I released (http://jucas.sourceforge.net) it. Actually the project is a component orientated web-framework like - yes - Tapestry. In the initial it was very inspired by Tapestry (as I see Tapestry was the first long before ASP.NET or JSF) but than for some time I stopped working on it and when I restarted I looked more at .NET and JSF.
My project is in no way as good as Tapestry. Its buggy its slower there are less (no) components etc, however its my hobby and its based on my ideas. At some time I was searching for a Service kernel. I tried Avalon (did not realy suit) than I tried the JBoss JMX (didn't like the configuration - and JMX is not realy thought for that) and just before I wanted to try to write my own I found HiveMind and immideatly integrated it. Thats also how I found this ClassLoader issue. (Just a few days later I realized that Howard is the creator of Tapestry).
Please excuse if I am boring you with my own project. Normally I don't do that, but because of course there will be working quite some Tapestry people on HiveMind I just wanted to tell that.
