Hi,
The Scala scripting engine itself [1] has no dependencies to Sling and
almost none to JCR. Rather can it be used as a standalone JSR 223
compliant scripting engine. As discussed earlier [2] I think it would be
great to give it some more exposure to the Scala community by moving it
to a more appropriate home.
Alex Parvulescu came up with the idea of moving it to
http://scala-tools.org/
There are several way how to host the project then:
1. Like Lift - the web framework
the releases are deployed on scala-tools
the source code is on github https://github.com/lift
the wiki page is on assembla https://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/liftweb
2. Like the Scala IDE
releases also on scala-tools
source on assembla
http://scala-ide.assembla.com/wiki/show/ae55a-oWSr36hpeJe5avMc
3. Like the Scala language
releases on scala-tools
code on their own servers http://www.scala-lang.org/node/213
I'd go with github for the sources (it seems everybody is doing that),
signup for an assembla page to keep the docs up to date (github does not
seem to have any wiki options), and contact the scala-tools guys so we
can use their maven repo to deploy artifacts (the alternative would be
to go directly to sonatype and signup, which is very similar but does
not have the cool scala like name)
What do you think?
