Hi,
Seems there may be some progress on cleaning up the C/C++ code, so I wanted
to check what is the best/correct way to proceed.
Obviously, this needs to go through the IP Clearance. At the same time, it
is IMO not realistic to expect a single person will be able to prepare all
CND for IP Clearance in one step (that includes cleaning dependencies and
license headers).
So, I wonder if the following process would fit:
1. have a vote here, about accepting the donation
2. have a development repository, like apache/netbeans.cnd, where the
preparation for IP Clearance would take place. Presumably, we would add
some warnings into to the README, like "Unfinished work on donation, didn't
go through the IP Clearance yet."
2a. if it is not possible to have it under Apache NetBeans, maybe it can be
under Incubator?
3. do (finish) the cleanup
4. have the IP Clearance vote on Incubator
5. merge CND into the mainline
Any comments on this? How should be large-scale donations like CND handled?
Thanks,
Jan
