Agreed. github has great tools as well; plus its got the lowest barrier to entry which encourages participation. > For the long term I think that the generic part of such a console should > move into an apache project.

It could move to Apache one day. I'm much more keen though to get folks contributing and writing plugins - those plugins could live at github, eclipse, inside their respective Apache projects or in a new Apache UI project or whatever. Though actually having the UI console in a separate project kinda helps (e.g. hawtio works with all versions of Camel). Everything's Apache licensed so any project can reuse / embed / extend hawtio wherever folks wish; plus folks can create their own stand alone consoles in any project - or just write and release their own plugins from any project anywhere. -- James ------- Red Hat Email: [email protected] Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: jstrachan, fusenews Blog: http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration
