I don’t think it should be super surprising to anyone to say that Streams could be having a bigger impact if we could kick our activity up a notch. The hard thing is figuring out how to get us there, so I wanted to open a discussion on that.
I think the following would be good places to start: a. If we had a formalized roadmap with more starter or bite-sized tasks, I think it’d make it easier for new or existing contributors alike to spend time on the project. Yes, some of this is in JIRA, but I think making it more of a document too would be useful. b. There’s also the current backlog of course. As part of (a) I think we can talk about what in the backlog we really want to do. c. We can’t ignore community development of course. Craig Russell has encouraged a lot of projects to look at some of what Beam did [1] and I’m pretty sure most of us have read it. It’s probably worth having a second look at though. d. If we wrap all this up into some quarterly goals, we’ll know what we’re working towards. I think if we got (a) done that’d be a great place to start. What do you all think? -joey 1. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/373e1c1427f16142a3ffd7c2f9b3639bf3c343c80e9c893bd861a740@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E
