Re: [SMW-devel] [Semediawiki-user] SMW, Halo and "SMW+" [Re: Halo Installation - help]

Thanks Markus. We would also like to make our intentions very clear. ontoprise, as the developer of the Halo extension (AKA SMW+) is intending to update the extension always in accordance to the most recent SMW releases. We  are doing all we can to avoid forking and we have been quite successfull with this in the past. The Halo extension started ontop of SMW 0.7 and is now compatible with version 1.1.

We greatly appreciate SMW as the basis for the Halo extension - and we always mention AIFB as originator of this terrific piece of software.

Regarding the name: "SMW+" or "Halo extension" are still working titles. We are in the process of finding a new, cool name for the extension. Please feel free to submit proposals to the SMW+ forum at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/halo-extension/>

I think it is fair to warn our users of the
possibility of this fork, since switching to Halo then may have
consequences for future software upgrades (you may end up being in either
the SMW or in the Halo branch). Of course SMW has no desire for that to
happen, and it may be possible to improve cooperation between the projects.
    

Update: I got a fast reply from the Halo team, and I am happy to say that 
forking is as little in their interest as it is in ours. We will have a joint 
meeting for future coordination soon so as to define improve the coordination 
of our efforts. I take from the first reply already that availability of Halo 
as an extension is an intention of the project (so the current lack of 
instructions on how to install Halo in this fashion appears to be only a 
temporary shortcoming of the documentation).

Cheers,

Markus
