We've started some discussions on the cxf-private list about graduation stuff, but I wanted to bring it out to the wider list.
OK, question #1: are we ready to graduate? Other than a few administravia things like updating the status page with the results of the karma cleanup (which I'll do once I remember how to update that page... It's been a while.), are there any other issues that people feel would need to be resolved? Question #2: assuming #1 is yes, should we graduate to a top level project or to a subproject of something else. If subproject, where? My thoughts: On #1: yes. We have now have a diverse community of contributors. We have shown we can do releases based on apache guidelines. (we've done 6 of them). We have shown we conduct our discussions in public within full view of the community. We have followed Apache guidelines and voting proceedures wherever required. I don't feel there is anything left to gain by remaining in the incubator. On #2: I'm strongly in favor of going TLP. While some may argue that a subproject of ws may be preferred, I'm not one of them. :-) I personally think the WS project should actually be broken up a bit, so making the situation worse doesn't accomplish anything. However, that is mostly my subjective opinion. Anyone else have any thoughts? -- J. Daniel Kulp Principal Engineer, IONA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dankulp.com/blog
