some random ideas about the repository manager
----------------------------------------------
Key: MRM-92
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-92
Project: Maven Repository Manager
Type: New Feature
Reporter: Matthew Pocock
Heard about the repo manager on #maven today. Sounds like a great idea. I am
"encouraging" the myGrid and OMII people here in the UK to use m2 as their
standard build platform. They are developing a semanticaly-aware directory
component - URIs (such as ws end-points) are annotated in the directory and
then clients can discover URIs of the type or with the properties that they
would like. It would help myGrid to contribute to maven synergystically if a
couple of bits of tech could be in-place in the repo manager.
* An RSS feed of all updates
* Full web-service interface to the repo manager
* M2 build-time support for attaching .owl or .rdf documents to artifacts,
providing a semantic description of the artifact, which could then be imported
into the directory. Perhaps part of the .owl / .rdf would be auto-generated by
plugins and part would be under src/main/semanticDescription.
We have hired a team of 5 developers and a manager to re-write the myGrid code
- they have an explicit brief to do sw engineering rather than accademic
coding. I would expect that if they use m2 extensively, that they would
contribute to the project by submitting patches etc. like any good os citizens.
Sorry about the management speak - got my project managers hat on today.
