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
