Hi community,
I'm working on my "Bricks" example application for the GT [2] and I was
thinking of putting the source code in our whiteboard, if people don't
mind.
I don't want to make it a block as it contains the full source code of a
(very simple) standalone application built on Cocoon, including a build
system based on [1], and it's important to show how independent from a
particular version of Cocoon that can be.
I guess this will be a one man show for now, and others might have
different views of what an example app should be. So I'm not sure about
where to host it, but no one objects I'd like to put it in our
whiteboard for now.
The app uses all ASF components: Hivemind, OJB and Derby, so licenses
are clean (some non-ASL things will be downloaded from ibiblio at build
time, with an appropriate warning).
What non-ASL things?
I don't believe we're yet in a position to supply software which
downloads non-ASF components from elsewhere. Having said that, putting
something into SVN isn't strictly "releasing" software, but we do need
to be aware of what we're putting in.
I know we don't have a precise policy for using the whiteboard, but I
feel better by asking first. Please yell (politely ;-) if you don't like
the idea.
I've always thought we need to be broadening out beyond the core Cocoon,
and our current blocks system has become decidedly cumbersome for new
stuff like this. So I am keen to see stuff put onto the whiteboard - I'm
curious to see where it takes us from here.
