* Any chance of one or two of the other ASF members involved also stepping up as a mentor? * Projects that consist of groups of components often have some problems maintaining sufficient cohesion as a community. I hope you guys will give that the specific attention it probably requires and tune the project charter appropriately. * I have no problems with having multiple OSGi projects at apache as long as they're all healthy communities and they play nice with each other. (...) Of course the "play nice" part is interesting here -- I'm frowning a bit at seeing this how-to-interact-with-felix discussion kick off with a pretty much finished proposal going to the incubator. Surely the conversation can go a bit differently? For example maybe you could've approached felix first and discussed seeding the project with some of the parts-of-felix (along with developers) that are argued to need an independent-from-felix re-brand? Maybe you can take a step back together even now and see if something like that might make sense? Or, maybe you can co-operate on a shared registry / website of the OSGi components in all the different projects so that people visiting apache.org are not confused? Or something like that? I hope you guys find a way to reduce the friction and co-operate; having what looks like battle lines being drawn up at the start of incubation is _not_ a good thing. I do expect to see that felix/aria conversation resolved clearly one way or another before the proposal goes up for a vote. Even if the resolution is "there will significant charter overlap and duplication of effort and code and probably little committer overlap between the communities because we disagree on how to do things" then I'd like to see that clearly spelled out. cheers, - Leo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
