I created a simple website using my standard ant and velocity based

I also staged it for the public webserver - should be out there at

All, please try to check it out (use https, please), and if there are
things you want changed, lets submit patches to JIRA for now.
Sorry, I did not read that last line carefully and committed some
typo fixes
directly. I assume that was OK, since the changes were only to fix
typos /
references to Harmony, etc.
That's fine. I actually meant people that didn't have commit :)
Something that I would like to discuss is whether we are really
going to use
STATUS as described on the guidelines page. Some of the verbiage
there
makes it look like we will be using the STATUS file + dev list as
a sort of
surrogate for JIRA. For example,
"When a specific change to the software is proposed for discussion
or voting
on the mailing list, it should be presented in the form of input to
the
patch command. When sent to the mailing list, the message should
contain a
Subject beginning with [PATCH] and a distinctive one-line summary
corresponding to the action item for that patch. Afterwards, the patch
summary in the STATUS file should be updated to point to the
Message-ID of
that message."
No - that was just boilerplate I stole from httpd. :) Lets frag
that. Basically I was just trying to seed discussion, not dictate
anything.
I would expect to see the process here 1) discuss idea on the list
2) open
JIRA ticket 3) add patch to ticket and subsequently refer to the
ticket
number in discussion.
Yes. And I think that there's no requirement for a committer to open
the JIRA, really.
I know that we *must* maintain a STATUS file to track incubation-
related
tasks, but I don't see the value in tracking all development tasks
in this
file, when we have JIRA available. What am I missing here?
Yes, the status file is in place :
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/river.html
(ok, will be when the next site sync happens... I forgot to commit it
yesterday)
Again, the STATUS stuff was just boilerplate in my "seed site for a
podling", so we should kill it.
