Hi all, I agree with all that Andrea says. My own opinion is that: creating \ keeping a community module in GeoServer with no intention to give support to users at all or even review pull requests related to it doesn't make any sense/, /this community module should be removed/. /
If JDBC config module developers need a common place to store the code, mange issues, etc ... then create a repository for it, maybe under GeoServer ? On 11/29/2017 07:49 AM, Andrea Aime wrote:

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. Regards, Andrea Aime ==GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
