All,
Taking this debate public as this seems the consensus.
So, I don't want to point fingers or cause offence. I am a little less of a
diplomat than Rob, so I'll mention that all the things on Rob's list have
happend
ed :-)
However, Gordon has asked for specifics so ...
1. We've had pointing qpid users at RMG documentation on a RedHat site
Late to the discussion - as the patch submitter contributed the source
for the examples I believe that
a good community thing would be to donate a version of the text also be
made available for Qpid if he
can. I am not saying that every layered project should have to
contribute everything it does to Qpid.
i.e. ASL allows for anyone to do anything with Qpid, with no need to
contribute it back. However as
a community we should do everything possible to build the Qpid community.
2. Threads with RMG users looking for support on interop with RMG
Don't see any issue with this -- as long as the posts are clear. Many
people that use Fedora, RHEL, Unbutu,
SUSE all post questions to lwn. This is common in open source world.
3. Having RMG install paths in Qpid Java example code
Well, that is just wrong. -- it should be fixed & we should catch these
in patches we get.
4. Cpp download refs to RMG locations in response to qpid-dev queries
On this, the MRG downloads are NOT linked anywhere from what I know. I
don't think we have
a derived product page... whether we should or not is a community
discussion. There is
a link to a redhat cruisecontrol nightly for convenience to the
community. We should decide as
community if we want to keep or kill this link.
I'm not proposing that these are deliberate attempts to subvert. They
naturally reflect the real contribution of our project members, and some
understandable blurring of Qpid/product focus.
This is a key point. I think it is more our (Qpid) committers issue than
the patch submitter who created
the examples. We should have better reviewed the patches we get
submitted to us in my view. So that
we did not have this issue in the first pace. It looks like the post was
innocent in trying to help a user.
Thanks for bringing this up Marnie
regards
Carl.
