New Project
Hi, we are five italian programmers and we have finished some days ago Puff, a http cache proxy written in java that have some interesting features like a spider that prefetch the web links and an option to convert all images to black and white one to have a speeder connection for the client. This software is free licensed (we haven't already choosed what type but this is free however!!) and we think to jakarta subprojects. If it is possible tell us how we have to send it, the documentation and what ever you want. Best regards Paparoni Federico

Re: New Project
From the website of Jakarta: The proposal for a new subproject must submitted to the Jakarta General mailing list, where the PMC conducts business. All discussion regarding the proposal will occur the General list, including the final vote. Uhm?! Loop?!

You are really starting, now that you are planning to have true users and go out to the real world ;-) Regards, Santiago Sorry for my english but probably in my language I can tell you better about this project, that is already in the world not real but academic because this started from a project for an exam. I was thinking that just programming is not at all the difficult part of a software project. I have written thousands of lines of code that where never used, because the project died by lack of funding and I was not able to carry the code to other projects, because the company wanted for me to pay the whole cost of something that was essentially useles, as it was much cheaper to rewrite it. This, by the way, was the revelation, that convinced me to the Open Source Ways, a bit in the same way of the printer driver story that I've heard RMS tell. A project requires: * A Vision * A need fulfilled (the itch) * Users that will like the way how it works (for one reason or the other, be it simplicity of design, economy of resources, stability, cost, or even features ;-) + Management to keep it evolving and avoid it falling into pieces in the contrast between the needs of the users and the needs of the design * Some brand that makes it easy for people to remember it exists * Documentation * A evolving developer team to fix bugs, document and re-structure code on a continuous base * ... and a bit of code You seem to have the itch ( a caching proxy in java), and a name Puff (I like it a lot). You seem to be a group. This is what you have. Do you have the rest of the things? Is it competitive in design, ideas, simpliticy, etc? You should look for similar projects and study their status and design. For instance, a proxy need a http client implementation (as well as an http server implementation). You could look at how tomcat implements its server-to-client connections, and look at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/index.html for an http client. When you have a clear idea of where your project stands (better, lacking, a good part but..., cleaner design, etc.) you can go back to these communities, or here, and argue for your position. If the people in httpclient or in other projects (tomcat looks too big as a starting point, but...) gets convinced that your code is good, then you have a starting point. If they don't, and you still think you have something good, keep on trying. Now, I got serious. Sorry for the previous joke Regards, Santiago P.S.) If you have problems with the english to express you, but you believe that the project is worth it, you can try sending mail to some Italian commiters or members (look at the people.html page in Apache) in Italian, or even to me (I'm Spanish, but I think I'll understand it).
