Lets start a new thread tomorrow, finish discussion since I suspect
that all that will say their peace have done so, and work out a vote?
I suspect we need to decide :
1) do we need to have any policy?
2) If so, decide the
a) general committer acceptance policy/guidelines to define some
sensible, fair, transparent metrics for accepting a committer
such as
- how long a person must commit patches
- how long participate on the mailing lists
b) general code acceptance policy (what we have been discussing here)
where the options include
- bring into SVN, grant committer status to some # of people
- bring into SVN, grant restricted status to some # of people
- bring into SVN, follow a) above for people
- none of the above
I think that "bring to incubator" is not in scope for this vote, as
it's a tool we already have now - we can always do that and decide to
sponsor or just participate, but at the end of that process, then the
code contribution b) rules should apply.

Well, I was going to start a new thread, but it seems Alan doesn't
like that, so...
Would it be accurate to say that the options on the table for
donated code are:
1) Bring (project X) to geronimo, grant full commit status to (some
number
of people) who have worked with the code before
2) Bring project X to geronimo, put in a clearly separate SVN area,
grant restricted commit status (via ACL or explicit direction) to some
number of people who have worked with the code before
3) Bring project X to the incubator, mix outside people and
potentially
Geronimo people to form a new project team
It's clear that there's a variety of opinions as to which of these
is preferable, and potentially which is most preferable for the web
console vs the ORB.

It's a judgement call i guess. i have not been on the calls. If you
guys feel that it can support its own eco-system. then thats fine.
I don't know yet, myself. But certainly one cannot deny there are
more CORBA specs than Web Services specs (for a while anyway); not
exactly the same deal as a web console.

It's just that the piece of code we are talking about in both
cases,
seem un-usable w/o geronimo.
Is that really true? We are talking about a compliant ORB
aren't we?
