Re: Contribution of python cmislib to Chemistry

[Gabriele Columbro]

+1000 from my side :)

I believe it was one of the initial objectives of Chemistry to provide  
an as-wide-as-possible support for the standard, which stands on its  
predecessors especially for its completely cross-language approach.


So please welcome Jeff's code and any other contribution/contributor  
that might consolidate attention around Chemistry.


Ciao!

I like it. CMIS is about ineroperability. So I think Implementations
of diffrent languages is a must. And diffrent languages in one Project
with similar APIs and usage should be a ambition.

That's good news, indeed.



In my opinion this would give cmislib a bigger community and would
make it more visible.


Sure, I agree on this.
Having a multi-language implementation within Chemistry is a good
thing. I'd still pay attention in having more people working on this
component instead of having a single author on it.
I hope that somebody else then Jeff would be able, and willing, to
contribute on the Python component within Chemistry.


First of all, I would like to point out that we've already been  
working,
Florent and I, with Jeff on debugging compatibility issues between  
cmislib
and Chemistry (and Jeff has already been very helpful for improving  
the

Chemistry code).

Also, cmislib has a test suite that can easily be adapted for  
various server
implementations, that's easy to launch, and act as a second TCK,  
hence

improving the quality of the server implementations.

Third, the Python community has several dynamic CMS communities,  
such as
Plone and Django, that will probably be quick to adopt cmislib and  
provide

feedback.

Great! The more implementation, the merrier, and it would be good to
see someone like Jeff Potts joining this effort.

 In my opinion this would give cmislib a bigger community and would
 make it more visible.

It has indeed potential, although I have to note that from the Google
Code project it seems a one-man effort. Maybe Jeff can clarify whether
there is an existing community for the project? I am a tad concerned
as this community is clearly biased towards Java and I'm not sure it
would attract python folks - but I hope I am wrong.

 What do people from this list think?

On top of an enthusiastic yay, a few nits:

- the code seems (c) Optaros. Am I to assume it will come with proper
IP clearance, code grants and the like? I guess that's the case, just
double checking.

- on the same line, I assume it's fine to change the license to AL?

- I don't know if you have any specific graduation schedule in mind,
but I thought I should mention that including this new module _might_
(might!) slow things down a little as there would be a few more i's to
dot and t's to cross.

Other than that, looking forward to it!

And it would give Chemistry an AtomPub client implementation in a new
language.
There are synergies in this as well, for instance the test suites
could easily be run against each other.
