I want to get Orthrus to a state where it can easily be used by Linux
and other OS vendors. It needs releases for that to happen though.
I would like it to stay at the ASF if possible, but even if Orthrus went
to the incubator, I'm not sure it would attract more than a handful of
committers -- and once the core features are done, I don't think there
would be any major code development.
The scope of what Orthrus is currentlyimplementing is a small standard
that has been stable for 10+ years.
The reason I started it at all is to replace OPIE, which does't even
compile on OSX, and to make a PAM module that works on Solaris, so that
the ASF infrastructure could use it.
Maybe Google Code is the right place to take it, since it seems to build
an ASF style community, it would need to be a project with a much larger
scope?
Thoughts?
I'm a bit lost on this, too. For Java projects, there is Commons as a
last resort. For other languages, there is nothing like it. Our
community and oversight model doesn't really seem to fit for very small
projects in terms of code and community.
It's a discussion which already was touched when Droids went into
incubation. A small project. Can it survive the Incubator?
Here at ASF, projects are expected to grow to and beyond a certain
critical mass. But where is the place for all those little gems?
