Hi, I am glad you brought this point up.
You mentioned about constant confrontation between two sets of people. I would say, unfortunately, this has been caused by a lack of diversity in the community. I hope most of these confrontations are based on technical differences. For the first group, who I understand all work for a specific vendor, the push has always been just on simple spec compliance, with no emphasis on value adds, end user experience etc. I am not saying that spec compliance is an inconsequential issue; however, there are other issues that are as important. To give an example, some of the work that has been happening on distributed heterogeneous federation is something which I think is a key differentiator for Tuscany. This has been discussed heavily on the list, and unfortunately only three of the committers, who don't work for a specific vendor, that took any interest in this discussion. I sincerely hope the technical direction within Tuscany is not purely shaped by a given vendor's aspirations for getting their product suite SCA-compliant. Otherwise, independent committers like me would be wasting our time on this. I would say we need to generate better community interest and bring in more independent committers, so that there is a better balance on technical debates. Unfortunately, these constant conflicts have been putting people off. I don't think the differences are irreconcilable; however, there should be a willingness from both sides to have an open discussion, leaving other vested interests out, purely based on what is best for us as a community to build Tuscany.

Folks, I don't really like what's going on. Too much conflicts between people. Whatever be the issue of the day, I see 2 sets of people in constant confrontation. The constant branching/merging is not healthy or productive. Is there any effort or hope of reconciliation or should we start looking at other options?
