Hi,
As part of trying to make the whole process of making changes and
adding new features transparent to everyone involved I've whipped up
a little sketch for perusal:
http://people.apache.org/~jvanzyl/DevProcess.png
Basically it revolves around making sure things are documented in the
Wiki and providing a clear record of the evolution of the project
that anyone can follow at any point in time. So far from perfect but
I think a good starting point and I would like to field feedback so I
can improve it. It basically revolves around the dashboard where I've
tried to collect all relevant information about the project:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Home
And process is based around making proposals that eventually will
serve as the record of evolution of the project. The goal is not to
have anything that's heavy, and that we might eventually be able to
automate some data gathering but for the meantime it's not overly
onerous and provides some visibility we have not yet had to date.
The proposals are all here:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/All+Proposals
And they basically move from draft -> pending -> approved. I've put
some notes in the diagram and I figured we could start with a simple
proposal to see how it works and iron the kinks as we go. This is
experimental but I see it as the best way forward for getting a clear
view of what's going on
Thanks,
Jason
