Hi... Dan you just read my mind. I have a plan in my mind that includes more than one Apache project by which eventually we can support more needs to users of ASF software, one of these steps for example providing application suites which is empowered by oss developed at ASF, as much as possible for sure, and also provided to users by Apache
Apache Isis is one top candidate for that: - What I have in mind is to define a set of application suites that suites the line of applications Apache Isis was made to make it easy to develop - From one side these applications will promote for both Apache Isis and ASF itself - Also it will widen the base of Apache Isis users - Also which is as important as the previous point, this will help more and more committers to join as: -# It might be easier for them to work an an application built using Apache Isis instead of jumping into Apache Isis directly as they can see it in action through working on the application -# Also different applications will highlight different aspects of Apache Isis and give us a lead to add to Isis itself which can attract more committers as well I already have an idea of an application in mind which I have seen used and required by almost all companies I worked for regardless the size of business or number of employees Thoughts ? NOTE: If more consensus or interest is there I will start a [DISCUSS] thread for the main idea and that 1st application Looking forward to your reply On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 1:40 PM, Dan Haywood <[email protected]>wrote: > I think I'd rather look into see whether DN can work with NoSQL DBs (as > apparently JDO supports). > > But yes, we've never been short of ideas about how to expand the reach of > Isis.
