Hey David,
I have no problem with you representing Apache, though I still would
be interested in participating myself as an individual . . .what do
you think the weekly commitment is?
It depends on what you put into it.
Shouldn't take more than 3 or 4 hours of your week on average, with
busy spikes when you get traction into a particular issue.
More importantly, how do you envision the RI being implemented? If the
spec can't be discussed on list before release, how do we avoid a code
drop like before? Do you think it would be possible to have a private
list for commiters that signed an NDA to communicate about drafts?
Any other creative ideas?
David
I believe we should make every effort to have the RI developed at
Pluto, fully in the open for everyone to see and participate. I
*really* want to avoid the code drop / private list, thats just plain
wrong. Lets see what Stefan can tell us about the NDA, since he works
closely with the JCP as an expert group lead. If the JCP tries to keep
this JSR closed again, then its time for creative ideas...
The thing is that all members of the EG must give their OK to have a
public mailing list, if one objects you need to have a private one. Once
the JSR is approved and the EG is in place I'll propose a public mailing
list.
One thing that is now better than in JSR 168 is that you can make early
public drafts available and give people a chance to comment and
implement the spec. I hope that this will make it much more open.
Stefan
