I think you have mixed several separate issues together here.
SoC is a different issue we have discussed before. I believe
that the community wants the Trifork donation to be a subproject,
so will enter via the incubator. The IBM donation falls into a
separate category.
No, it's not clear to me what the "community" wants re TriFork.
It was my understanding that the code would come here along with
some people to work on it to get things going as fast as possible.
Note I wrote "I believe". Based on conversations I've had and from
what I have seen on this list, *I believe* that this code will
ultimately end up in a subproject.
I believed from our call that irrespective of subprojectness, they
would be coming here directly, and you agreed with that.
Lets put aside "who" for now and come up with a generally
acceptable policy.
I agree that "who" doesn't matter, but *I believe* it is a case-by-
case basis decided based on the code base proposed for donation.
An ORB and a web-console are vastly different beasts.
Yep, but we need to have a consistent policy, right?
I suggest that IBM makes the code visible, so Aaron and other can
begin to review it. If we decide that we want the code (and IBM
finishes legal), we check it into /geronimo/trunk/sandbox/$
{console-name-here}, work with it there until we are happy, and
then move it to /geronimo/trunk/applications/${console-name-here}.
As long as this becomes our general policy for accepting code and/
or new committers here, I'm fine with it.
What are you talking about? We are in a thread to discuss the
specific donation of the IBM console, not a thread to decide a
policy on general code donation and committers. If you would like
to discuss those, please start a new thread and address it directly.
Well, have you read the whole thread? Aaron introduced the concept
of a general solution :
"I believe the question is essentially the same as the question
around the TriFork CORBA donation."
If you wish to change the subject line, lets do it if we need to...
