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.
