Hi,

Looking at Wave, also incubating, there are a few things we're missing
here, part of the reason why DeviceMap got stalled and deliverables are
scattered across the web in different personal homepages (e.g. Eberhard's
or Reza's) instead of a well maintained project page like this:
http://incubator.apache.org/wave/downloads.html

Did I mention the Apache master POMs contain valuable plugins for goals
like deploy to the Apache Snapshot Repo or as Wave does it automatically
JAR or ZIP up nightly builds?[?]
Those are the things, a project specific how-to guide like
http://incubator.apache.org/wave/get-involved.html explains, but the
general Apache top level pages don't. E.g. I didn't even see anything about
the  Review Board at https://reviews.apache.org/dashboard/ there either.
Wave uses it, and it looks like this can and should be used even (or
ESPECIALLY[?]) while a project is still in the incubator.

Wave has 400+ JIRA tickets it seems, opposed to merely 40 we used. Needless
to say, the JIRA concept of "components" is used well. And even if there's
just one person (like the project lead) who can manually assign or
re-assign a task, if you define a number of components each should have a
default assignee, then that person gets tasks for his/her component. E.g.
"Data", ".NET" or "Java" as minimum proposal, I suggested that several
times but those who could maintain it either refused or have no time and at
least committers like Stefano, Eberhard or myself can't create a new
component, release or other elements in JIRA, just report stuff. and fix or
close (our reported) tickets.

Needless to say our project home page is a shamble, given everyone else has
"their own DeviceMap or DDR page" no wonder, nobody did this in the past 2
years[?]
Like in JIRA I don't think I can, if it's part of the "SVN/site" structure
maybe I could, then please let's decide who can do that ASAP.

Cheers,
Werner
