It will provide an >out-of-the-box as well as an extendible lightweight Java platform to >host, serve >and aggregate (Open)Social Gadgets and services through a highly >customizable >and Web 2.0 friendly front-end. >Rave is targeted as engine for internet and intranet portals and as >building >block to provide context-aware personalization and collaboration >features for >multi-site/multi-channel (mobile) oriented and content driven websites >and >(social) network oriented services and platforms. >For the [[http://www.opensocial.org/|OpenSocial]] container and services >the >(Java) [[http://shindig.apache.org|Apache Shindig]] will be integrated. >At a >later stage further generalization is envisioned to also transparently >support >[[http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/|W3C Widgets]] using >[[http://incubator.apache.org/wookie/|Apache Wookie]]. > > >== Proposal == > >The reason for starting Rave is to bring together and combine several >existing >projects and teams currently working towards more or less the same or >overlapping goals but each in their own small(er) target audience and >community. > >The goal for Rave is to become a lightweight and open-standards based >extendible >platform for using, integrating and hosting !OpenSocial and W3C Widget >related >features, technologies and services. >It will also provide strong context-aware personalization, collaboration >and >content integration capabilities and a high quality out-of-the-box >installation >as well as be easy to integrate in other platforms and solutions. > >The initial features for Rave will at least be based on the current >capabilities >from the contributing external projects, for which they will provide the >necessary code contributions. >However, the code base for Rave will be built anew with strong focus on >generalization, customization and extendibility to support the intended >multi-purpose adoption and integration. >The contributing external projects will start using and switch to the >new Rave >based solution as soon as the initial features become available to >ensure the >continued participation and interest from their side as well as their >own >communities. > >==== The intended initial features include: ==== > >'''Core Features''' > 1. Advanced !OpenSocial compliance and optional features support > 1. !OpenSocial persistence and SPI (Service Provider Interface) >implementation > 1. Self-service application administration including security, gadget >management and page templates > 1. User and group management with full privacy model > 1. Gadget repository with life-cycle management >(install/update/remove) and >extended meta data (categories, comments, ratings, etc.) > 1. Dynamic and highly customizable front-end engine (skins, pages, >tabs, >layouts, navigation) > 1. Full OAuth support > 1. Support for security restrictions on both Gadgets and >page/tag/layout >customizations > 1. Set of common and general purpose Gadgets to be usable out-of-the- >box > 1. Support for inter-gadget messaging with examples > >'''Extensible Features''' > 1. Pluggable persistence > 1. Pluggable security model with example modules for authentication >and >authorization > 1. Support for !OpenSocial extensions not (yet) defined in the >specification > 1. Support for other (non-standard, yet) pluggable container services >and >extensions > >Beyond these initial features the vision and scope for Rave goes much >further >and includes integrating and providing other highly desired/needed >features like: > > * native W3C Widgets support through >[[http://incubator.apache.org/wookie|Apache Wookie]] > * pluggable and extendible content integration and management services > * space extensions and management features, like >http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Space_extension > * context aware features and extensions integration for personalized >and >social network and (mobile) device oriented sites and channels > * enhanced client-side widget messaging, coordination and co-location >support >like using [[http://www.openajax.org|OpenAjax]] Hub and Registry > * space, page and Gadget based linking, navigation, coordination and >collaboration > * inline widget rendering, like >http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1402 > * [[http://activitystrea.ms/|Activity Streams]] support > * integration with other social networks like with >[[http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/federatedsocialweb/|W3C Federated >Social Web >Incubator Group]], [[http://onesocialweb.org/|OneSocialWeb]] and >[[http://ostatus.org/|OStatus]] > * integration with [[http://incubator.apache.org/wave/|Apache Wave]] > * runtime services monitoring, reporting and configuration/life-cycle >management support > > >== Background == > >The plan for starting a project like Apache Rave was initially proposed >at an >[[http://wiki.apache.org/portals/MeetupAtlanta2010|ApacheCON meetup]] >November >2010 in Atlanta and >[[http://docs.opensocial.org/download/attachments/720955/Apache+SocialSi >te+2+proposal.pdf|in >more detail]] at the first >[[http://docs.opensocial.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=720955|Europea >n >OpenSocial Event]] December 2010 in Utrecht (The Netherlands). >This resulted in participants from [[http://www.collab- >ogce.org/|Pervasive >Technology Institute Indiana University]], >[[http://www.mitre.org/about/index.html|The MITRE Corporation]], >[[http://www.surfnet.nl/en/Thema/coin/|SURFnet SURFConext]], >[[http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/|OSS Watch]], >[[http://www.onehippo.com/|Hippo]] >and other individuals to come together and discuss the possibilities to >collaborate and work together on this joined effort, resulting in this >proposal >for the Apache Rave project. > > >== Rationale == > >The reason for the Apache Rave proposal is that there is a clear need >for a more >lightweight collaborative and social network oriented integration and >services >platform, portal if you like, which is easier to use, extend and manage >than the >more heavy weight J2EE / Portal / Portlet standards based solutions. >The !OpenSocial, WC3 Widgets and similar related standards are much more >"network" and collaboration oriented and lighter weight in their >definition, >implementation and integration requirements, and are moving much more >rapidly >and agile forward. >Several open-source projects already have stepped into this arena, >converting >over or starting from scratch, to create new and lightweight solutions >based on >these emerging standards. > >In most cases these new implementations are still at the early stages, >and much >of the basic work is duplicated as is the effort to build up communities >and >attract developers. >The Apache Rave contributing projects are all building on the same >concepts >(!OpenSocial), have the same or very similar functional needs with >regards to >Gadget handling, service handling, back-end integration, front-end >rendering, >code maintenance, etc. >The rationale for Apache Rave is to combine these efforts and work and >collaborate together on a common base solution and to get out of each >own "silo". >This joined effort than can benefit everyone, both on technical >implementation >and feature realization and provide a much wider and stronger community >perspective. > >The initiating projects and individuals on this joined effort have their >existing code based licensed under the ASL 2.0, or will do so as part of >this >project. Participants include long time users, committers and members of >the >Apache Software Foundation. That, and the strong alignment with existing >Apache >projects like Shindig and Wookie, and the strong belief in the Apache >"way" with >focus on collaboration and community, makes starting the Rave project at >Apache >the logical thing to do. > >The external projects providing the initial code contributions all fully >support >the goal to come up with a '''new''' base solution to replace their own >project >base line solution. >Apache Rave will not be started from one of these initial code >contributions >directly, but be build from scratch where selected features and >implementations >might be cherry picked from the code contributions where applicable. >Each of the code contribution projects are willing to give up their >current >implementation and replace that with the new solution from Apache Rave, >even if >no part of their existing implementation details would "survive". > > >== Current Status == > >=== Community === > >This project will form a new community, made up initially of the >contributors >listed below. However, from our experience at the !ApacheCon, we believe >that >this project will quickly draw interest and its community will broaden >easily. >The proposers have worked well together so far, in producing this >proposal and >clarifying design approaches, and are keen to continue this in a more >open venue. > > >=== Code === > >Three initial codebases that implement parts of the scope of this >project have >been offered to this project. All are, or will be, Apache licensed, and >grants >can be provided. All three of these codebases will be imported into >Apache SVN, >each into separate sandboxes. > >A followup codebase donation is planned, providing a context aware >mapping >engine and content integration features, under the same conditions as >for the >initial codebases. > > >== Initial Goals == > >The initial goal will be to produce a single usable codebase from the >three >imported codebases, and to get this to a suitable state where >contributing >parties can use it within their own products/projects. > >This will be done by starting with a fresh, clean repository and then, >on a >feature-by-feature basis, cherry-picking the best code for that feature >from the >three codebases. > > >== Known Risks == > >Any project joining the Incubator is going to have risks - aspects to it >that >could lead the project to fail. In this section, the risks that have >been noted >for the Rave project are discussed. > > >=== Three Code Bases === > >Working with three initial code bases will be a challenge. However, we >are >hoping that it will be less of a challenge than starting with none! > >All parties contributing code have agreed that they are prepared to >participate >in this project even if none of their contributed code is incorporated >in the >final product, recognising that for each feature, it will be necessary >to pick >the best code for the job, rather than the code that one participant is >most >attached to. > > >=== Speed of Development === > >Initially at least, this project is dependent upon contributions made on >company >time. For this approach to succeed, the project must deliver a workable >system >in a timeframe acceptable to those companies. The initial parties have >the >intention of releasing a first version within 6 months after starting >the >Incubator. Failure to do so could prevent the project reaching critical >mass, >and could prevent the project from being in a position to attract new >developers. > > >=== Inexperience with Community Development === > >None of the participants have worked together before this project was >conceived. >Some participants have released open source code, but not done >development 'in >the open'. > >There will clearly be some learning in how to participate together in >this >project, in a meritocratic way, as a newly formed community. However, we >do have >in our mix folks that are experienced in open source development, >including >existing Apache committers and Apache members, as a consequence of which >we >believe we have enough experience to work with the challenges of forming >a new >community. > > >=== Reliance on Salaried Developers === > >At present, the vast majority of contributors will be doing so as a part >of >their day jobs. Therefore, as already alluded to, there is a risk that >the >project won't gain enough traction to be of use to their employers. >However, >given the centrality of these codebases to the participating companies, >it is >clearly in their best interests to transition to an openly developed >alternative. > > >=== Other Risks === > >Of the other risks commonly raised regarding incubator proposals, none >seem >particularly pertinent to this project. > >The project is no less likely to be orphaned than any other new podling. >Given >the multi-company support it has easily gained, it would seem to be >quite the >opposite. > >Given the range of organisations putting themselves behind this >proposal, there >is no obvious risk of over-dependence on one contributing organisation. > >The participants are attracted to Apache due to its governance model, >and >proximity to similar projects, e.g. Apache Shindig. This affinity is >clearly >shown by the fact that the original group who formed this proposal met >at >!ApacheCon. > > >== Documentation == > >Details for the initial contributed code can be seen here: > * MITRE: [[http://code.google.com/p/osec|OpenSocial Enterprise >Container]] > * SURFnet: [[https://portal.surfconext.nl|SURFConext Portal]]; >[[https://wiki.surfnetlabs.nl/display/surfconextdev/Technical+Design|SUR >Fconext >technical design]] > * [[http://www.collab-ogce.org|OGCE]] >[[http://www.collab-ogce.org/ogce/index.php/OGCE_Gadget_Container|OGCE >Gadget >Container]] > >Because this project will create new code, we will not have any >documentation on >first starting.
