Thanks, Without commercial companies adopting it the way e.g. Cordova/PhoneGap is used, your assessment is quite true and we may not succeed in graduating any time soon[?]
I'll do my best in presenting it to JavaLand (despite some hefty competition at least on the pure JavaEE front with Arun Gupta talking about JavaEE7) One has to say, that while there probably aren't more than 1 or 2 people now updating it every 1 or 2 months, OpenDDR is still doing quite well. A regular merge can't hurt, but at GitHub alone you'll find a growing selection of projects and languages like PHP, C# or even Lisp(!) or https://github.com/altocon/tapestry-devicedetection I don't know, how alive Tapestry 5 itself is despite once having graduated, but what e.g. Agorava managed to attract in the last 1 1/2 years, alternate UI frameworks from (Apache) Wicket to new environments like AngularJS trying to use it, we'd have to find interest for DeviceMap, too, otherwise OpenDDR even at relatively small pace will remain the most succesful Open Source DDR implementation and this project may go to sleep[?] Cheers, Werner On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 3:35 PM, Bertrand Delacretaz <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 3:28 PM, Werner Keil <[email protected]> wrote: > > Has DeviceMap submitted something already?... > > No - we missed the last report which I sent here in draft form earlier > [1] but didn't commit, that should go to > http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/March2014 if people agree with its > contents, reproduced here: > > *** > Apache DeviceMap is a data repository containing device information, > images and other relevant information for all sorts of mobile devices, > e.g. smartphones and tablets.
