Re: Discussion: Summarize Proposed Trunk Changes

[Scott Gray]

-1, I think the system we have in place now works just fine. This discussion might be warranted if we've been having problems with people committing major changes to the framework without adequate discussion but that hasn't been happening and I don't think it's going to. I think all OFBiz committers have a good understanding of what is appropriate and we're all pretty good at reaching a consensus before making major changes.

I do agree with reiterating the importance of discussing major changes in depth and reaching a consensus before committing though.

Lately there there have been some discussions about making big changes to the trunk. I would like to suggest that we summarize those proposed changes, create a voting thread for each change, and then send a friendly announcement to the user mailing list about the proposed changes that won the vote.

To get things started, here are the proposed changes I am aware of:

1. Require Java 6

2. Remove Cloudscape support

3. Remove the Shark component

Feel free to add others to the list.

In the USA we are in the midst of a major holiday, so we need to give others plenty of time to respond. So, how about this: let's list our proposed changes in this thread and wait a few days for responses. Sometime next week we can start the voting threads. About a week after that, summarize the voting results and send an announcement to the user mailing list. What do you think?
