I find it very difficult to start a such huge and important challenge as Camel 3.0 will be, for sure. I think the most difficult part is to get consensus about what we do it and how we do it. We already collect some useful ideas at [1], but I have the feeling we have to review these ideas. First of all, because I don't think we can do all of them in one release (I also have a few more - more important from my point of view - ideas, collected from users, contributors, committers and PMC members). Second, some ideas need more "meat" before someone else than the authors know what this means and which impact it has. Third, a few of these ideas are already implemented in Camel 2.11 or before, so that we can remove it from this page to be more focused.
- Rename "Camel 3.0 - Roadmap" into "Camel 3.0 - Ideas" - Start a fresh "Camel 3.0 - Roadmap" WIKI page which we will fill with content in the next weeks - I propose to subdivide this page into three (child) pages: - What has to be done before we can start working on Camel 3.0 (probably during the (short term) Camel 2.12) - What are the changes we do in Camel 3.0 - What is postpone to 3.1 or later - Afterwards we put everything together, we will see on which ideas we already agree and which ones requires detailed discussions. - For later ones I propose a weekly (or two times per week) IRC/Skype session for discussion (Which days/time fit best for you?) - We should also start a [DISCUSS CAMEL-3.0: <TOPIC>] thread at dev@ for the guys they are not able to attend - Afterwards we will send the results to the dev@ mailing list to share it (if you are interested in it, join us at d...@camel.apache.org) I will start with it after 72 h to give everyone the possibility to suggest another approach (I will only start writing down some ideas which are not on table right now). And of course, every help is welcome. A simple -1 or better +1 ;-) is not much, but also helpful and better than no feedback... Better, if you join us [2] and ride together with us Camel 3.0.
