Hi, right now we have a policy for handling provisional OSGi API (API that is currently drafted in the OSGi expert groups but not final or officially released yet): http://felix.apache.org/documentation/development/provisional-osgi-api-policy.html
While the policy is good and nice, it requires to rename the packages from an OSGi namespace to an Apache one for the reasons stated in the policy. However, this creates a burden for people using this stuff, e.g. when writing tests as these need to be refactored later on anyway. The reference implementation of the new Http Service (RFC 189) will be done as part of Apache Felix and we would like to start working on this in the open. Therefore we need to commit the current version of the API draft somewhere. I think if we do this in the whiteboard section, it should be clear enough that the API is provisional and we don't need to rename the packages. We can also add all kinds of disclaimers/readmes etc. But before doing so, I would like to get the general feeling about this. So, wdyt? Thanks Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler [email protected]
