Hi All, I think we need to decide the next steps of projects in Dubbo[1] group. I'd divided them by 4 categories:
### Dubbo RPC extension modules I think they are can be merge back into the core repository for the purpose of easier release management and concentrate the users/contributors. They are: * dubbo-rpc-native-thrift maintained by Xin Wang, our PPMC * dubbo-registry-etcd maintained by Zonghai Shang, our PPMC * dubbo-async-processor maintained by Jun Liu, our PPMC * dubbo-registry-nacos maintained by Mercy Ma, our PPMC * dubbo-configcenter-archaius an empty project, since Netflix no longer maintains it, I propose to drop this project * dubbo-serialization-gson maintained by Ian Luo, our PPMC * dubbo-serialization-fst empty project, already merged into core repo, ok to drop it * dubbo-serialization-native-hessian, maintained by Ian Luo, our PPMC * dubbo-rpc-jms, maintained by Kimm King, our committer * dubbo-rpc-xmlrpc, maintained by Kimm King, our committer ### Multiple-language SDK Most of the projects are maintained by external developers, I am not quite sure how we can deal with them, maybe we need to discussed with them, about whether we want to donate code to ASF. They are: * dubbo-php-framework php client + server This project has already signed SGA to donate to ASF * dubbo2.js Node.js client * dubbo-client-py python client * egg-dubbo-rpc dubbo rpc plugin for egg Node.js framework * dubbo-remoting-js dubbo protocol implementation of egg Node.js framwork There are also 2 Node.js implementations, are they going to be merged or not? That's another question. ### Integration * dubbo-sentinel-support provides sentinel support, maintained by * dubbo-kubernetes provides kubernates support, still work in progress, maintained by our committer Jeff Lv * dubbo-integration empty project, not quite sure what it does, we can leave it there * dubbo-spring-cloud-project empty project, it can be dropped ### Tools & Others * initializr forked from Spring initializr, should be no IP issues, I think we can leave it there * dubbo-spring-boot-demo This can be merge into dubbo-samples * dubbo-benchmark benchmark project, maintained by Ian Luo, our PPMC, I think we can move to Apache * dubbo-logo logo files, suggest to move to ASF * jmeter-plugins-dubbo, should be no IP issues, I think we can leave it there * hessian-lite, a modified version of hessian separated from the core repository, suggest to move to ASF as a standalone project How do you folks think?
