All, I would like to get community input on the process of merging Webshell feature to master.
*Problem*: 1. We would like to get this feature in by 2.0 but also would like to make sure we get a proper reviews for this feature. 2. Given the size of the feature, keeping it up to date with recent commits (rebasing) is getting problematic. 3. It appears that this feature will require collaboration from multiple developers so having the feature in local repo is not ideal. *Proposal*: Size and scope of this feature justifies creating a feature branch. The idea is to create a feature branch in Apache Knox repo for this feature (e,g, Webshell). Merge the existing PR fork ( https://github.com/apache/knox/pull/477) to this branch so multiple developers can contribute to it with their own PRs (fixes/tasks). Doing this will make sure we attribute code correctly to the developers who contributed it and simplify the development process. Also, until this feature branch is active we would encourage (prefer, really) developers to double commit to this feature branch and to master branch. I understand this is not ideal but I am hoping we can bear the pain for a short time until we release the feature. Any thoughts and ideas would be greatly welcomed. Best, Sandeep
