Hi everyone, It may or may not be obvious that Reactor has been, shall we say, idle under my oversight. Honestly, my focus is on my business and things that directly impact it. Reactor is only in my periphery these days and, as a result, support and momentum behind the project has faltered.
The CF community focus really has been on Transfer and its features. And, though Transfer is a terrific product and we have used it on some projects here at Alagad, it's not the end game. Beyond that, there's a lot that remains that can be done with Reactor. There are ideas I've had for a lite version, or a ColdSpring based architecture that would allow for customizations of the core, and so much more. And I know many of you have ideas. Not to mention issues that need to be resolved. My realization is that I personally don't have the time or inclination to get into Reactor code any more. And so, for a while, I've been looking for someone to take over as a project manager for Reactor. I've asked Mark Drew a few times if he'd be willing to chip in and today he hesitantly agreed. However, we both want to talk to the community of Reactor users before making the official decision. Do you think you or someone else might be a better (or simply different) choice? If so, please speak up. If Mark does take over the project then he'll presumably be working with you, the community of Reactor users, to come up with a plan for the future of the project. I also anticipate that the development of the project will become much more open and inclusive than it has been in the past. (Maybe some of the mess in OO queries can be cleaned up?) Anyhow, I just wanted to open this up for discussion. Let's hear what you have to say. Doug Hughes, President Alagad Inc.
