Hi Dan,
You might want to take some time and read the Apache JCP documentation
at http://www.apache.org/jcp/
In particular:
"Traditionally, projects using Apache's TCKs have been very strict and
closed about what information could be discussed in public forums.
Over the years, this approach has been gradually relaxed by some
projects with no adverse affects on the community, the general TCK
testing process, or the ASF's commitment to protect the confidential
information entrusted to it.
Therefore, the following should be deemed the guiding policy for
dealing with TCKs from the ASF :
Projects must keep the official TCK materials confidential. Use your
best judgement. For the elimination of doubt, public discussion about
using the TCK, bugs found while using the TCK, and any project-created
frameworks or assisting software or documentation that do not reveal
the official confidential TCK material is acceptable."
Thus, nothing TCK related goes here.
There is a private list specifically for that:
[email protected]
First that I've seen mention of that list. If we're expecting WINK
project members to use it, have we communicated this information to
them?
Everyone doing TCK work needs to subscribe to that if they are
planning to
share anything.
Also, we are NOT allowed to say anything like "we're 80% there" or
"10 tests
left" or whatever. It either is 100% passing or it's not
compliant. That's
all that can be said publicly.
That may be Sun's perspective on the matter. However, it's not clear
to me from the terms of the NDA that the number of tests or percentage
passed is "confidential information" which is not to be disclosed.
