Hi everyone,
looks like we're running in circles with that struts2 extentions release.
Partially it is probably my own fault since I did not question Thomas' findings
but I must say I am not really fond of all these legal issues.
Personally I would really like to bundle the servlet-api and jsp-api in order
to have a nice clean and easy build process. I am also willing to change the
release build scripts once again.
However I would like everyone to acknolege that the process of making a release
build, uploading it, calling for vote on the dev-list, wainting or 72 hours,
posting the result, calling for voting on the general list, ... is quite a
tedious task and costs Jörg and me a lot of time.
I would really appreciate if anyone who want's to check the release would do
this, while we're voting on the empire-db-dev list and not leave it until we're
on the general-incubator list. This would make life for us a lot easier.
We have run though this whole process three times now, and we still have no
binding positive votes for the struts2-extentions yet. If there are any
objections with what we currently offer as the release we should really discuss
and resolve them before our next attempt.
Furthermore the question is how we will be able to get three binding votes at
all on the general incubator list. Unfortuately there has recently been litte
interest in this matter so all we can hope for is a positive vote of Henning,
Thomas and Martijn. So my question goes especially to those three: How can
procede in order to get a positive vote from you.
Please take into accout, that the distribution currently avaialbe for downlaod
from our project web-site and source-forge has nothing to do with apache at
all. This will make it even harder to attract new users.
Cheers
Rainer
