Gentlemen,
as per http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ReportingSchedule, our board
report is due in three days from now. I'll give it a preliminary shot
with my very own recap of what we've been up this far:
The River community is starting some real work. The initial code
submission was filed at the ASF secretary, voted in and landed in SVN,
the discussion is now moving to technical issues and code evolution,
which is a very good sign. There has been a discussion about package
naming, as the code in SVN is under a non org.apache.* namespace:
given the sheer amount of issues with backward compatibility and
supporting existing users, there has been a general consensus on
getting our feet wet with the current code base, integrate a few
patches that have been held off while the code was to be migrated to
the ASF infrastructure, and devise a roadmap for migration to the ASF
namespace: this is high priority and will most likely be a blocker to
any incubating releases. No new committers were added since last
report.
+1 on the overall content and thanks for doing this. In addition to
Jukka's comments, I have one more. I would strike "and will most
likely be a blocker to
any incubating releases." I think we need to discuss this on
incubator-general with full context and options provided. I did not
comment on the previous thread on this because I am still getting to
know the code base, understanding options and user/community
implications and researching archives and incubator docs to determine
what if any rules apply. I would rather not conclude at this point
that we can't release anything from the incubator with non-apache
package names.
