Hi Folks, I managed to put some time in to the proposal document we promised a while back. Right now there is lots of background (which I think is equally as important as the migration itself) and I have identified the first area which work can begin on e.g. mime/mediatype detection.
I opened TIKA-1207 [0] as a parent task to track everything, I've also attached a .txt document there so folks can track a more verbose account of whats being proposed and the progress being made. @Tika Dev's It was previously proposed (I think) that a branch of the trunk codebase would be used to merge in changes... it is however my suggestion that this may not be necessary. Everything we propose within this initiative can be classified as *additions* to the codebase... therefore we don't need to worry about backwards compatibility or breaking trunk for the masses. It is therefore my suggestion that we simply review and address child issues, submit patches for Tika trunk, then go back to the review of the Any23 codebase and carry on with the proposed migration of code. Does anyone have any comments on this right now before we go ahead with making the patches for TIKA-1208? Thank you very much Lewis [0] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1207 [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1208 -- *Lewis*
