Great! > Before taking a decision we have a few queries we'd like to rise: > > 1. Is there a roadmap that bring Wookie to become a product? There are two questions in here - one is to do with releases, the other with graduation. To make a release, we need to remove any remaining GPL dependencies. These are Hibernate and its MySQL connector, and so we need to look at solutions such as OpenJPA, JDOm DataNucleus, EmpireDB etc. To graduate, we need to have a viable community, which means enough committers from different organisations. I don't think either of these targets is far off. > > 2. Can we count on an effective and reactive support while Wookie > is in its incubator phase? The most accurate indicator of this is to look back over the list archive to see how implementers have been supported to date: http://markmail.org/search/?q=list:wookie In general I'd say as a community we've been pretty quick at responding to questions and providing fixes and workarounds for issues. > > 3.

I'm starting work myself on two EU projects using Wookie, and these involve SAP, T-Systems, Huawei, Grupo Gesfor, and a number of universities and smaller companies. I'll share more information on the list about these when we do our official press releases. There have also been some questions on the list from companies using Wookie in various scenarios. > Best regards, > > Loris > > > > > > > > Loris Vicario > > ________________________________ > > Value Team > > Via Vespri Siciliani, 9 > 20146 Milano > Tel. +39 02489851 > Cell. +39 3346203855 > Fax +39 0248985997 > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > http://www.valueteam.com <http://www.valueteam.com/> > > > > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE -This message and its attachments (if any) may > contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information and > is intended only for the use of the addressee named above.
