I do say development should happen in trunk, thats a fundamental part of the Apache Way. I guess the point is that whats in trunk/contrib (now unreleased) is that its not being actively developed, most of its not been changed for months, its not included in any build, the pom.xmls are out of date so that it doesn't build, there is no doc, and there are no tests. Other than to the individuals who added the bits its just cruft that we're making everyone who checks out Tuscany download. Anyway, we've got trunk/unreleased now and as so many of you seem keen on it i guess that will stay but IMHO you should regularly consider why what you have put in there is there and either move it to contrib out of trunk or if its work to be continued move it to trunk proper. ...ant
