There's been a discussion thread going for a while [1] in the Tuscany community with regards to shifting the Apache home for SDO Java work to a new project. This has been going on in parallel to the discussion on the incubator general list on establishing a new project, originally aimed to be tightly scoped to JSR 235 (see [2] to jump into that thread at a location particularly relevant for this posting).
I'd like to try to move the Tuscany side of the discussion along to some kind of conclusion. In view of that aim, I'd like to suggest that we take a fresh look at the current state of the wording for the Tuscany "charter", if that's what it's known as, that we arrived at during the graduation vote [3]. I suggest .... ...establish a Project Management Committee charged with the creation and maintenance of open-source software for distribution at no charge to the public, that simplifies the development, deployment and management of distributed applications built as compositions of service components. These components may be implemented with a range of technologies and connected using a variety of communication protocols. This software will implement relevant open standards including, but not limited to, the SCA standard defined by the OASIS OpenCSA member section, and related technologies. The only edit here is that the current blessed version ends with ... "but not limited to, the SCA and SDO standards defined by the OASIS OpenCSA member section" I urge you to give your attention to this in the near future please; making this alteration would seem to be a necessary, but not sufficient, element for altering the proposal for the new project.
