True.
In the short term we need to work with some of our sister projects:
Felix 'Commons'
We must move forward on the Felix commons idea. If no one is doing it I
would be willing to do it myself asap (next week?). Will move our
required common osgi bundles over there. If this makes sense,
Ok what are we moving into felix common? And will not moving our stuff
over to felix common not make it harder for others to commit on those
sources?
Alex can
you get with Richard Hall and create a place for the commons, and get me
a svn userid/pw with commit access so I can redeploy our common
dependencies to there? If necessary (from the felix community
standpoint) I can also help with other wrapping efforts besides the few
we need.
Rather than get with Richard (a person) we should be asking about how to
start working the commons thing on the community's dev list. Also if
you're a main driver for doing things in there you can get commit rights
which should be the case.
Mina
There will open a window of opportunity for us to add OSGi wrapping
subproject project to Mina as soon as Peter Royal creates a Java5
optimized Mina 1.0.0 compatible branch. Can you help facilitate the
idea? JIRA: http//issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-27
You already have rights to commit to the directory project which still
for now includes MINA. I recommend creating a private MINA branch in
your personal sandbox area and making the appropriate changes there then
presenting this idea to the MINA dev list.
WDYT?
This should be more proactive and they can see just what you are
proposing first hand by investigating your branch.
