BSF is IBM's Bean Scripting Framework. Find a description here:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/bsf
Jakarta already hosts some BSF related stuff here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/bsf-doc/intro.html
To the best of my recollection, Sam Ruby started a discussion about BSF becoming an ASF
project a number of months ago and the concensus was that this was a "good thing" and
should happen. Is that still the concensus?
If the Jakarta PMC supports making BSF an ASF project, I will work to get IBM
permission
to make it happen. There is no such thing as a "sure thing" but last time I checked, I
was
reasonably sure that I could get approval donate BSF to the Apache Software Foundation
(with appropriate license changes, etc.).
Assuming I can get IBM approval and general concensus from ASF developers, Chuck Murcko
and Victor Orlikowski will be involved in the project from IBM's side (and will do the
work to get the code base into CVS, set up a mailing list, and BSF home page). My
thinking
would be to essentially shut down the developerworks project and migrate the few folks
on
the existing BSF mailing list to the BSF mailing list hosted the ASF. And the more
folks
interested in participating the better.
Please let me know if I should spend my time getting IBM approval to donate BSF to the
Apache Software Foundation.
Thanks,
Bill
