Re: [DISCUSS] Release plan

2013-01-19 Thread Francesco Chicchiriccò

Hi all,
I've just been playing a bit with JIRA to draft a possible C3 release 
plan, for 3.0.0-beta-1 [1], 3.0.0 [2] and 3.1.0 [3] according to what 
we've been discussing so far.


Please let me know if you see any problem with this.

Regards.

Re: [DISCUSS] Release plan

2012-11-13 Thread Javier Puerto
Hi Francesco,

2012/11/12 Francesco Chicchiriccò ilgro...@apache.org

 Hi all,
 yet another thread asking about Cocoon project vitality [1] was recently
 started.

 Besides other things, one of major issues seems to be the lack of a
 stable C3 release (but also missing updates for C2.2).

 =

 About C2.2.1, there is an outstanding request by Thorsten [2] asking for
 support on releasing the C2.2.X series.
 This means we could do this with no code effort: we just need someone
 either acting as RM or supporting Thorsten (I guess) as RM.

 =

 About C3, we *really* need to provide a stable release in the near
 future: the last official release is still alpha and, even though most
 of us are running latest SNAPSHOTs in production environment, we cannot
 ask this to end-users.

 AFAICT, the major outstanding issues that need to be solved before
 attempting to release 3.0.0-beta-1 (and after this a 3.0.0 release) are
 related to:

  * caching: COCOON3-30 / COCOON3-100 - an imperfect solution was
 implemented for COCOON3-61 (which actually needs some additional fixing
 I am going to provide in the next two weeks for a customer) that can be
 applied to COCOON3-100 as well; I'd rather move COCOON3-30 (and other
 caching improvements) to C3 3.0.1

  * problems running 2 C3 webapps in the same container (COCOON3-107):
 together with Javier and Thorsten, during hackaton at latest ApacheCon
 EU 2012, we have probably found a way to fix this but performed no
 implementation yet


 We have also other stuff [3] but I'd move any other issue to either
 3.0.X or 3.1.0.

 Finally, we have some outstanding proposals for improving the pipeline
 APIs from Simone [4] and Reinhard [5]: I'd push this anyway to C3 3.1.0.


 In addition to the code issues above, we need to improve and finish the
 documentation [6], still plenty of 'TBW' and javadocs (COCOON3-92); I
 would take these as blockers for 3.0.0, but not for 3.0.0-beta-1.

 =

 My questions now are:

  1. Would you agree with the above drafted release plan?


Completely agree. +1



  2. If so, who is available to help with these tasks? Consider that
 documentation tasks are an easier way to contribute to the project even
 without development skills.


I'm happy to see that Cocoon activity is starting to grow again. The
problem on my side is that things get worst in the project I'm working on
and probably I will not have time until January or February. I will try to
answer emails from the email list but I can't take any development
responsibility due my situation.



 If you've been using C3 and appreciate this, please don't deny your
 help: we really need it!


Regards.

I indeed think that the the "aliveness" of Cocoon should be proved
by releasing something.
I am still one of the old players around here stuck with Cocoon-2.1
and one thing I could do is to help releasing 2.1.12

Do you think it could help people seeing Cocoon as a still-alive

2012-11-12 Thread Robby Pelssers
Hi Francesco,

Sounds like a good plan to me. We should make sure that all open tasks are JIRA 
tickets and we should have on our front page listed which tickets are in scope 
for 3.0.0 release.  (perhaps also with status). And if possible a target 
release date ;-)

This will give everyone a clear overview and a focus what to work on.  And 
maybe we can discuss internally in what order the tickets should be resolved in 
order to work efficiently.

RE: [DISCUSS] Release plan

2012-11-12 Thread Robby Pelssers
Actually my preference would be to help out documenting.  Not sure yet how to 
tackle this to be of most added value.  I bought e.g. Play for Scala book which 
helped me really getting a quick-start with that framework, although play also 
have pretty good documentation showing how to do individual things.  The nice 
thing about the book is that it combines all these things in a step-by-step 
approach. And they have a few sample apps which you can download from github.

Just to give an example... Cocoon's focus is on publishing... right?

We at NXP are combining XSLT/ XQuery which makes a pretty interesting use case. 
 I would be interested to start a (perhaps even dedicated) new blog showing how 
to build a webapp using these technologies. On the other hand I do think we 
need to fill in the dots for the main C3 documentation.  

If your question is.. you're in?  Yes... I am.

 release (but also missing updates for C2.2).

 =

 About C2.2.1, there is an outstanding request by Thorsten [2] asking for 
 support on releasing the C2.2.X series.
 This means we could do this with no code effort: we just need someone either 
 acting as RM or supporting Thorsten (I guess) as RM.

 =

 About C3, we *really* need to provide a stable release in the near
 future: the last official release is still alpha and, even though most of us 
 are running latest SNAPSHOTs in production environment, we cannot ask this to 
 end-users.

 AFAICT, the major outstanding issues that need to be solved before attempting 
 to release 3.0.0-beta-1 (and after this a 3.0.0 release) are related to:

  * caching: COCOON3-30 / COCOON3-100 - an imperfect solution was 
 implemented for COCOON3-61 (which actually needs some additional 
 fixing I am going to provide in the next two weeks for a customer) 
 that can be applied to COCOON3-100 as well; I'd rather move COCOON3-30 
 (and other caching improvements) to C3 3.0.1

  * problems running 2 C3 webapps in the same container (COCOON3-107):
 together with Javier and Thorsten, during hackaton at latest ApacheCon 
 EU 2012, we have probably found a way to fix this but performed no 
 implementation yet


 We have also other stuff [3] but I'd move any other issue to either 3.0.X or 
 3.1.0.

 Finally, we have some outstanding proposals for improving the pipeline APIs 
 from Simone [4] and Reinhard [5]: I'd push this anyway to C3 3.1.0.


 In addition to the code issues above, we need to improve and finish the 
 documentation [6], still plenty of 'TBW' and javadocs (COCOON3-92); I would 
 take these as blockers for 3.0.0, but not for 3.0.0-beta-1.

 =

 My questions now are:

  1. Would you agree with the above drafted release plan?

  2. If so, who is available to help with these tasks? Consider that 
 documentation tasks are an easier way to contribute to the project even 
 without development skills.

 If you've been using C3 and appreciate this, please don't deny your
 help: we really need it!

 Regards.

No problem for me, +1 for a release.

  Furthermore, I think Oracle has to honor the JSPA agreement.
