Hi Matthew

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Would you say the current state of the code is suitable for a release ? Isn't there some unfinished work in progress ? By looking at the changelog I would say it is fine but your input would be valuable.

I had a look on the currently tracked issues [1] and nothing stands out IMO.

However a few tests are failling, what is there status ? Did they always failed ?

It looks like the nebula project did a lot of work to make sure stepping in has a very low cost. I would be ok committing on the maintenance of the widget.

Hello Team,

I'm always delighted to hear about folks using PaperClips. It's gratifying to see my work being used in all sorts of neat projects.

However, I need to face facts, and admit that it's just not likely I'll contributing to PaperClips (or my other Nebula components) any further.

At the time I wrote PaperClips, I was writing desktop software for our office, so it was essential for my day to day work. I have long since changed jobs, and my focus now is on web development rather than desktop development. Desktop application development just isn't on my radar any more.

It's time for me to pass the torch. If anybody is willing to take over maintenance of PaperClips, please contact me.

Matthew

    Hi Cedric,

    The Paperclips library is part of the intended release widgets. So
    if we continue with the release AND Matt Hall is indicating that
    he still wants to participate then you are fine.

    In the case Matt indicates that he does not want Paperclips to be
    in the release then you can step in and secure the position of
    paperclips by committing on maintenance of the widget.

    In the case the widget is not released then you can include it as
    a jar in your own plugins. I don't think you need a CQ for that.

    Best Regards,

    Wim

        Hi,

        Hi,

        The Eclipse Sirius project (
        http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.sirius)
        currently depend on paperclips from sourceforge. We'd like to
        do a first release in october/november and then be part of the
        Luna simultaneous release. Our best option would be to consume
        paperclips from Nebula but we would need a release for that.
        (There are other options through "reuse" CQs but i would
        rather not go that road)

        I'm jumping on this thread - perfect timing by the way - to
        ask : is there any plan for the Paperclips widget to release
        with the others ? If not, is there something we can do to help ?

        Cheers,

        Cédric

        Hi People,

        We have various requests for an official Nebula release. Do
        we still want to go ahead with this or do we want to stay a
        perpetual incubator? Please discuss.

        I am ready to go ahead with this but I need help. Please
        provide a +1 and your widget name if you want to release your
        widget into the release. If you do not vote +1 then your
        widget is not included.

        The rules for releases are here [1]

        Regards,

        Wim
