Oracle wants to donate the code of a JSF-portlet-bridge which wouldfit well with MyFaces. We do already have some bridge code at MyFaces,but it is not as complete as this donation would be, and it doesn't comply to the corresponding standard. The possibly donated jsf-portlet-bridge is the reference implementation of JSR-301 - it would fit well for several projects at the ASF to have this code ASL licensed. It is important relating to recent discussions on jcp-open to say that Scott O'Bryan has said thebridge-team will try everything to release the according TCK under theASL license as well. In comparison to the recent incubation projects in MyFaces, which are ADF-Faces --> Trinidad and the Rich Client Framework the codebase isnot very large and would not need any community building around it norwould it be necessary to bring an existing community to the ASF - as already 4 members of the MyFaces community know the ins and outs ofthis or similar bridges and can easily take over the code and maintainit (and there is sufficient interest to do so). Scott O'Bryan, one of the existing developers of the bridge at Oracle, is also a MyFaces committer. So in our understanding, incubation is not necessary, as no community needs to be incubated. If there are any objections, though, we'll certainly rethink this point of view - this is why I'm asking for comments here.sounds like a straightforward software grant to me - robert
I agree. Craig
