That is not a good model for development in ASF long term; ASF is about open development as well, not just about releasing software under the Apache license. It is a viable model for bootstrap, but now that we have bootstrapped, we must do all the work here. [Soumadeep] Yes, I completely agree and that's why I added these points in my earlier email 2) We work on the mediators and do a primary test before we commit it to the ASF repository. 3) And whatever that we proposed (like Mukund's management related code base or SynapseObject) are in the scratch already 4) The reason some of the mediators that we came up with didn't make it to the repo yet is because of issues pertaining to data sharing between mediators, and you are aware of the long thread about SynapseObject per se. One more thing that I would like to emphasize here is that I do agree that all the development should happen in the repo, but from a realistic stand point as you may agree one can't keep writing a line of code and keep committing it but surely the scratch area should be fine. And I reiterate that we have no intention of putting mediators in one go but put a generic structure to it and then let the community develop it. One can argue endlessly on this but then just to put it in the right perspective we have developed these features and have gone through several use cases with many customers in a rigorous manner. Hence, apart from just the code we are also sharing the knowledgebase so that we don't start re-inventing the wheel again but maybe add to it. On a lighter note maybe add some good tiers to it :) Of course *it is perfectly viable* for Infravio or anyone else to build their own add-ons and ship them in their products.
