 Hi Reinhard,
 just a couple of questions before expressing my +1:

 On SVN repo I found alpha2 tags out of sync the following modules:
 - cocoon-all (is empty)
 - cocoon-optional (is empty)
 - cocoon-parent (is empty)

 Thanks for spotting - I created all the release tags and updated the
 tagging script. Unfortunately Maven doesn't do this out of the box (see
 the 'svn-release-tags.bat' script in the root directory of Cocoon 3).

 I didn't find tagged the following modules:
 - cocoon-docs

 directory and tag added

 - cocoon-profiling-firebug

 not released this time because I have to check how to properly
 release/distribute Firefox/Firebug plugins.

 - cocoon-sample-webapp
 - cocoon-sample-wicket-webapp

 Not there because it doesn't make much sense to release them because
 everything is packed in a war file. In order to explore the webapp
 samples, use the samples archetype.

 - cocoon-sax

 directory and tag added.


 After downloaded both zip and tar.gz archives, I didn't find the
 parent pom to build all modules: did I miss something?

 It's not there on purpose because its modules section would point to
 non-existing projects.

 If you want to rebuild the release from its sources, you either have to
 build the modules in the right order or you would have to add a root pom
 yourself.

 For the next release we could enhance the apache-release profile of the
 'cocoon-all' module e.g. by a Groovy script that creates the root POM.

 XInclude: I'm sure my patch doesn't include the sitemap integration,
 and I'm very sorry for that :(

 no problem. Since you'll get commit privileges very soon, you can fix it
 yourself :-P

 Should I integrate it before releasing
 alpha2?

 I would only want to rebuild the release artifacts either if there is a
 serious bug or a formal issue that makes the release 'invalid' regarding
 to ASF rules. Otherwise we should just ship alpha-3 asap.

 Documentation: should we move my name from contributors to committers?
 sorry but I'm still celebrating my graduation :P :D

 :-)
 You're welcome, add yourself to the parent pom, otherwise see above.

 Have a nice evening, and count on me for any help you need!!!

 Thanks for reviewing!

[OT] What Grzegorz is working on (was: Re: [vote] Release Cocoon 3.0.0-alpha-2)

2010-01-05 Thread Grzegorz Kossakowski
W dniu 05.01.2010 00:20, Robby Pelssers pisze:
 So you finally became a SCALA addict? ;-)

Scala was just one (although significant) step to interesting topics like:
 * (efficient) functional data structures
 * different parallel and concurrent approaches like STM and actors
 * powerful type systems and their (provable) limits
 * studying properties of abstractions like monads, monadic transformations. 
Java world would say that I'm just studying
patterns.

Scala is just a nice language that enables me to try various ideas. :-)

In short: I just prepare myself for upcoming CPUs with 100+ cores. ;-)

Oh and I'd like to implement some stuff (query DSL and monad) for my little 
project I've done during last summer:

 Happy newyear Grzegorz,

Thanks and the same to you Robby!

 Pipeline API level

 I want to stress again that this is an alpha release. This means that we
 are free to change contracts without following any deprecation rules.

Which means that I lack free time (and more importantly, involvement) to test 
it honestly but I still appreciate the
work all of you put into this release.

Happy New Year to all!
