Hi everyone, I was about to write something similar as Enrique. There are two aspects now: - What should we release as part of 10? - What should be part of the release in the future?
I agree, it might be better to start with a minimal set in 10 to reduce the maintenance costs and then we could build on top of that. Part of kiegroup in the past was the experimental nature, where we had multiple smaller projects, that ended in the community, however later they just become a maintenance burden (even if used for a very small set of use cases) - remember e.g. droolsjbpm-integration repository, Fuse integration etc. Best regards, Tibor Dňa po 18. 12. 2023, 12:23 Enrique Gonzalez Martinez <egonza...@apache.org> napísal(a): > I do agree in removing or at least setting aside those componentes that are > not our primary focus. > > As Alex suggested this increases the overhead and we don' t really have > many hands for now. > > I would say that if we don't agree in remove them, at least move those to > another repo outside the apache kie.
