Hi Dave,

actually the list was just taken from the list of IoTivity projects:
https://wiki.iotivity.org/projects_and_functions

Totally agree that there is some overlap between bridging in general and the 
more concrete bridges.
The idea is simply that - when a new issues is created - it can be correlated 
to the source code,
which in general resides in a sub folder of one of these ?projects?/bridges.

I hope this does explain, why there is a proposal to have one component per 
?project? listed on the IoTivity projects page.
It shall help to assign issues/bugs found to the correct maintainers.
But may be this is a wrong idea and this would not help in assigning bugs at 
all?

thanks
  Christian

Under proposed components, the wiki page shows:
* Bridging (Todd Malsbary)
* UPnP Bridge (Rick Bell)
* AllJoyn-Bridge (Todd Malsbary)

I don't understand the distinction between the first one and the others, it may 
just be a naming thing.
In the OCF bridge spec, the term "bridge" is the term for a device independent 
of protocol, and
"translator" is the term for a protocol-specific plugin in a bridge.

So would "Bridging" include any translators or not?  Shouldn't "AllJoyn-Bridge" 
be "AllJoyn translation"
or something similar, if it's a separate JIRA component?   Or we could combine 
translators into a common
Bridging component in JIRA.  But if we break them out then we should 
consistently break out a new component
for every translator for every protocol (which might seem excessive).

Hi,

is there still something that needs to be changed here?

I'd like to see the "proposed changes" page implemented, doesn't mean we
have to be completely done with the other discussions.  Were there answers
for the bits with questions? (mainly whether to have any presence of iotivity-
constrained and iotivity-node). The updated/added components would be
helpful in categorizing.
