I follow the exchanges with great interest. To make a few things more clear: - All Camel extra components are optional and we do not deliver/release/deploy it with our normal Apache Camel releases (and we do not plan to do this). - As package name, we use org.apacheextras.camel.xxx - As Maven groupId we use org.apache-extras.camel.xxx - The source code and hosting the source code is not an issue.
- It's more the question on leveraging the other Apache infrastructure (JIRA, mailing list, Confluence, may be Jenkins, ...) for Apache Extra projects. - The reason for this is question is convenience. 8 of the 12 Camel extra Owners/Committers [1] are Apache Camel committers or Apache Camel PMC member.
