In the meantime, they should really start to do the license switch to
ASL2.0
That will simplify everything... and it is much easier to do now that
the community is still small.

Hi,
FYI, we agreed today with Luan, that he will try to increase ARIA
community size before being a candidate for poddling. He will then
come back to us and we will then reallly begin to help them to get
through the incubator process.

Hi PMC mermbers,
You certainly know that ARIA will replace XUI. And Luan O'Carrol
is willing to make ARIA a candidate for a TLP project through
Incubator.
I would like to help him on this way and I wonder if you may give
me some help too :o)
I already gave these links
Asking officialy on incubator ML [EMAIL PROTECTED]
should help. Mentionning XUI (now ARIA) is used by OFBiz should
help
also. You may be interested by OFBiz experience : http://incubator.apache.org/projects/ofbiz.html
notably
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/ofbiz.html. But the main
resource to begin with is certainly
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/index.html. This one is
important too :

Hi Luan,
I was pretty busy these last days, and I must confess I did
nothing yet but asking some help on Dev ML. I will now ask more
formerly
on the private PMC list. If I get any responses, I will begin to
dot it alone...

Spring RCP make sense indeed, we will see what happens...

Hi Jacques,
Is there anything I can do to support this or lobby in any way?
The Spring RCP community is also interested in the project,
although
they are quite slow to react. I don't know if they would be
willing to
come on board an Apache project, although they do use lots of
Apache
libraries.

Hi,
I want to let you know that the XUI project is officially dead.
XUI was
licenced under the XPL licence which was a derivation from MPL,
hence
compatible with our licence. There is a new project which aims
to replace
XUI : ARIA http://sourceforge.net/projects/aria/. It was
created by one of
the XUI founders : Luan O'Carrol. Unfortunately there was a
couple of issue
Bad news
1. The licence has changed, it's now under a GPL/LGPL license (on
SourceForge it's even less clear)
2. There will be some tools to migrate from XUI to ARIA but it
is not
directly compatible.
Good news
1. As I have exchanged a bit with Luan before when working on
the POS, I
asked him about the licence. He said it should no be a big deal
as his
intention is to open ARIA more than XUI was. So in a 1st time
he will change
the licence to MPL (or MP like) has it was before for XUI.
2. I'm sure the ARIA team will help us if ever we need to
migrate from XUI
to ARIA.
We discussed a bit more and it happens that Luan would like to
have ARIA
under the ASL2. And even that he would like to see ARIA becomes
an Apache
Project. I explained him roughly the procedure (Candidate,
Champion,
Sponsor, Mentor, Incubator, TLP). I think I qualify for being a
Mentor. But
I will need some help from our community (OFBiz) to find the
Champion,
Sponsor and at least another Mentor. I think that OFBiz can't
be a Sponsor.
Else ARIA will later (when hopefully out of incubator) become
an OFBiz
sub-project which makes not a lot of sense in my opinion. Note
that Luan has
previously contributed to the Batik Apache Project.
Note also that there is no hurry on our side. We now use XUI
3.2rc2B without
any known issues. But I think it's better to know that ARIA
will be there
for our future with the POS component.
Thanks for your attention
Jacques
