So next time someone starts bombarding the user list with requests about
jdbconfig I'll tell them that "the module is shared to facilitate
collaboration, but there is no one in position to support user list,
so don't wait for answers", and for pull request, we'll do the same? (the
pull requests about JDBCConfig are still there open by the way, no reviews
that I can see)
If that is the case and the only target are developers willing to pitch in
maybe it's best to remove it from the nightly builds so that simple users
don't grab it and get the false impression someone may care about it?
Ideas:
- We probably need some way to ensure users understand that community
modules are not supported in the common sense... maybe a wrapper page with
a big red title stating that at the top, and the list of binary packages
below? Or a warning at the top of the docs in each module that has no one
caring about it? (which is not the whole list of community modules, mind)
- Sharing a community module in packaged form is done to allow users to
try it out, if there is no one willing to follow up on the user list, then
it should be left in source form only, developers will be able to try it
out anyways (and the docs can give support in that direction too, maybe
just the command line needed to build the module, something like "mvn clean
install -PmoduleProfile -DskipTests").
Some of the above needs to be handled, it is not fair for the people not
helping in the user list to take decision about
how the communication with users should be handled. First take the heat on
a daily basis, then you can speak with some knowledge of what you're
talking about.
