Hello fellow committers,
Last week I was on vacation and felt for sure that when I got back
I'd see a unified direction for the Java Tuscany SCA code base.
I've
held back discussing any of this for a while because I didn't want
to add any more fuel to the fire. I now feel I have to speak
up: to
be honest about this, I was really disheartened that it has
came to
pass that we as a community so soon moved to having to fall back
on "The Rules for Revolutionaries". While this seems to be
acceptable
path for a Apache project, I don't feel that makes right for
Tuscany. I think there is a fundamental difference in the
stages of
projects that followed that route and the stage that Tuscany
currently is at and survived as a project.. Many of these projects
were fairly mature, they had a much larger pool of core developers
to draw on both sides, they had a much larger user base, and for
the
most part they were based on mature specifications. I agree
that in
some stages in the life time of a project a revolution is
desperately needed to bring about innovation. I don't think
this is
the case for Tuscany, I honestly don't think Tuscany is at the
stage where it can quite honestly survive such a split and still
gain traction in gaining commiters and users.
I'd really like to request that we as a community once again focus
not as much on the technology which both branches have merit, but
consider the Tuscany project as a whole will be better served if we
make a decision on which will be the future today. Thus I'm
requesting as has been asked before if we can't take a vote on one
and once again move forward together as one.
Specifcly:
I would like to propose that we make the chanti tree the main trunk
and turn the current trunk into a maintainance branch. The chianti
code would be moved to tuscany/java and would be the main
development tree moving forward; the existing trunk would be moved
to branches/M1. Please vote if you agree with this proposal - as a
policy vote, at least 3 +1s and more +1's than -1's would be needed
to do this
This is my +1 for this.
I agree that building the Tuscany community through unity has to be
our first priority. +1 to move chianti to main.
Jim
Thanks
Rick
