I'm trying to get in touch with the Jakarta PMC to find out what the status is
of accepting Daniel Savarese's ORO NetComponents to be part of Jakarta. Also,
No proposal has been made. As I indicated on my web site, before making
any proposal there has to be a clear development community that is willing
to continue to maintain, support, and further develop the software. Now
that the source is LGPL'ed, anyone is free to go forward with a proposal
and I'll give the ok to switch the license terms. I've tried to put the
onus on the NetComponents user community to take control and decide what
it wants to do with the software. Jakarta is rather full of projects and
I wasn't going to initiate a proposal for yet another project if it wasn't
clear that there was a strong committed development community. However,
there are several alternatives to proposing a new project. There's the
Commons (or commons-sandbox) and it's also possible to expand the scope
of jakarta-oro, which may or may not make sense. At any rate, as I
indicated somewhere, I don't have any vested interested in dedicating much
time to NetComponents because I don't use it and would redesign and
rewrite it if I did. There appear to still be a lot of people using
NetComponents based on the thousands of monthly downloads of the software,
so if you, Winston Ojeda, and friends can organize them, then you can
decide if SourceForge is the right thing, a Jakarta proposal, or a merging
with an existing subproject.
