You might want to sync up with raphael over in mojo where he's

Raphael - can you tell us what is happening over here? (Pretty sure
you're still subscribed). Wendy's asked me to look at something,
and I'd be happy to, but I don't want to later find out the work is
irrelevant if I do it here.
My 2 questions would be:
a) is this an evolution or a revolution? ie, would rapid
application of patches here be appropriate, or is it a
compatibility-breaking attempt at making it work from scratch?
b) is the intent to bring it back here when it's done?
Personally, I find this a little weird. If it ever intends to come
back here we should be discussing it here now.
The intention is if he's happy with it, and can be slotted in then
great. He's not even finished but working and might want to offer
something. I suggested Wendy look at and decide what she think is
better to hack on. If it works I am happy to suggest it be moved here.
If it's not, then we might as well carry on as is, right? I just
need to know which it is so I don't waste any time.
He doesn't have access at Apache so he's doing it at Mojo.
That's lame.
It's not lame, it's what we have always been doing. He's
experimenting, he wanted somewhere to put it and he has access. I
don't see how that is lame.
If it's something we want here, we should find a way to do it. I'd
elect a committer based on past work and ability to state what he
was going to do clearly here. Or something else, including using
mojo as a scratch space, as long as everyone clearly understands
what's going on.
What he's working on is a prototype. He's trying to create a
replacement, and there's nothing wrong with him making the prototype
there. I pointed it out to Wendy so she knew. No one has touched the
code in quite a while, he's interested in working on it. He's got
access, he started right away, let him run with it. Absolutely
nothing wrong with that. I have no problem with him being a committer
either but while he wants to hack away let him work on it where he can.
Jason.
