Hi I was thinking about this a long time last months, but had not too much courage to say this, because I've spent a lot of time to resurect the ServiceMix 5 and work on the further releases. But actually I have not too much time and power to spend so much time as before to work on the new releases. So, it's time to clear the status of ServiceMix. Thanks JB for starting of the theme.
As we cannot guarantee to provide new regular releases, I second your opinion not to provide the next releases and move ServiceMix project to attic. I propose to - move the Bundles and Specs to Karaf as subprojects - provide Integration features in Karaf and Karaf Integration distribution as proposed by JB - provide integration documentation in Karaf + migration guide - contribute the Activiti features to Activiti project (can be part of Integration features in Karaf at the beginning) - move the ServiceMix project to attic The open question: what about the active community members? Would they be merged to Karaf community too?
