Re: [VOTE] Graduate from Incubation

[Dain Sundstrom]

I personally define OpenJPA by the persistence engine and not the  
spec it implements.  A good persistence engine is very hard to write,  
but adapting it to new persistence specs if fairly easy in  
comparison.  I would like to see the scope be limited to java  
persistence with an eye toward the current JPA space, but want the  
project to have the freedom to implement JDO, CMP, SDO or any java  
persistence spec that pops up.

Said another way, if this project decides to implement JDO, should it  
have to go into another TLP or a sub project?

Only comment is that we might consider narrowing the scope a tiny  
bit, saying something like

".... to be known as Apache OpenJPA, chartered with the  
implementation of the Java Persistence API as well as related  
object persistence technology, for dis..."

Just so that the board doesn't feel that the scope is *too* broad.   
It says the same thing, but emphasizes what the project currently  
does.

That said, it would probably be fine as is :)
