Fine :-). Just make sure to set expectations correctly and describe yourself properly.
The Oscar web page (http://oscar.objectweb.org) has the sub title "An OSGi framework implementation". It further goes on to say "the goal is to provide a completely compliant implementation of the OSGi framework specification " Is this not also a goal of Felix? >From the Felix (well still called Oscar) page (http://incubator.apache.org/projects/oscar.html) it says "The Oscar Project ... will be the foundation's implementation of the OSGi R4 specification ..." I am not trying to be pedantic here, I am just trying to understand if one of Felix's stated goals is to be an implementation of the OSGi spec and by that I mean all the mandatory bits. While I understand that Felix, like all open source efforts, is volunteer and it will take time to complete the full R4 framework impl, I just think Felix should be clear on this goal and how it presents itself to the public.

Oscar was driven by the features I was interested in and what users complained about, it seemed to work okay. I am not saying that we are not interested in spec compliance, since I think we would all like this. My point is that we have limited resources, so if we have to choose between working on something that no one wants but is spec complaint or something that people want but is not necessarily related to the spec, then we will probably choose the latter...especially since this is a volunteer effort. However, we fully encourage and support any volunteers that wish to work on spec compliance issues. :-) -> richard BJ Hargrave wrote: >Well the question is: do you describe Felix as an OSGi framework >implementation or a framework which implement portions of the OSGi >framework specification? > >I desperately hope it is the former.
