But do you really think that three or four people make up a community big enough to warrant a TLP?
Yes, in this particular case I do and I think this is mostly a chicken/egg problem.
Gump, IMO, fails to attract the attention it deserves mostly for two reasons:
1) it "so looks" like a nightly build system that when people find out it's not, they think it's screwed and don't bother go forward
[you probably wouldn't believe how many people don't really know what gump is for and believe it's a nighthly build too that simply doesn't work because it misses the real dependencies so it fakes them using the HEAD of CVS]
D'oh!
I understood what gump is. and its use has an important place, I just though there was a possibility for combining the processes of nightly build and integration test.
2) it's trapped in jakarta and jakarta is notoriously misfunctional in allowing its internal projects to create their own cultural identity
Jakarta is what you make of it, in my opinion, its a foundry, eventually a project may outgrow jakarta as a foundry. If your project is ready to go out on its own to get more exposure/identity, go for it.
3) more visibility helps the process of building a larger community [in this regard, I think gump should have it's own site skin and not using the default forrest one]
