Hello Turbine developers,

as I recently was asked by Thomas Vandahl to become a committer to the
Turbine project I accepted.

The case for me is, that I´m developing a OS project (ODC
http://opendc.distributed-campus.org/), which is still based on Jetspeed
1.6, http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-1/). Jetspeed 1.6 is for many
parts just a thin layer on the turbine-framework and I was able to
upgrade with the help of some hints on the turbine website from turbine
version 2.2 to 2.3.3 and even to turbine-4 (patched 4.0-M2-SNAPSHOT).
The last step resulted in some issues, which are desccribed here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRB-85. The reason is: Jetspeed
1.6 depends on the caching mechanism of Turbine Rundata, that is the
deprecated methods org.apache.turbine.util.RunData.getOut() et al. So, I
would favour keeping this backward-compatible.

- I would support releasing the fulcrum-parser component (1.3-SNAPSHOT),
cft. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRB-91.

Suggestion for future development: I find myself using more and more the
JSON data channel (btw. com.metaparadigm became org.jabsorb with new
host http://code.google.com/p/jabsorb/). To think about less data
exposure, filtering methods seems to be good idea, which is supported by
e.g. Jackson http://wiki.fasterxml.com/JacksonFeatureJsonFilter.

FYI: I´ll attend this years ApacheCon Europe.

Best regards, Georg
