Over the last few weeks there have been discussions concerning the refactoring of Avalon. Initial discussions on IRC (log is available on http://www.apache.org/~niclas/irc/2004-04-25.150335.txt) implied a breakout of Fortress and Merlin into separate projects. Subsequent consensus gathering used the Avalon wiki clarified respective interests (http://wiki.apache.org/avalon/Reorganization).
Out of this process a proposal has been created for the separation of the Merlin project into a independent TLP (Top-Level-Project).
http://www.apache.org/~mcconnell/merlin/pub/
The proposal focuses on a product-driven community model, grounded on the principals on "one spec, one product, one community". The members of the proposed PMC would like to move forward with the finalization of the Merlin TLP proposal for submission under the next BOD Meeting.
Toward this end, the following documents have been prepared:
Merlin History http://www.apache.org/~mcconnell/merlin/pub/docs/history.txt
TLP Project Description http://www.apache.org/~mcconnell/merlin/pub/docs/description.txt
TLP Draft Resolution http://www.apache.org/~mcconnell/merlin/pub/docs/resolution.txt
Feedback/recommendations/suggestions from the Board, Avalon PMC, Avalon developer and Avalon user communities is appreciated.
Cheers, Stephen.
