Another option to consider: in a completely serendipitous aligning of fates, I just noticed that Syncfusion is now offering a "community edition" license to their full product suite (https://www.syncfusion.com/products/communitylicense).
Though "open source" doesn't seem to be mentioned explicitly, NHibernate certainly falls under the $1M revenue ceiling mentioned on that page :D Possible that the UI control dependencies could be replaced by sim. functionality in Syncfusion controls (?). Heck, for all I know they might even have a syntax editor control too...! Just a thought...clearly we could also search for OSS offerings to incorporate as well, but this might be an alternative worth at least exploring in re: a path of lesser-resistance... -Steve B. -----Original Message----- From: "Steve Bohlen" <[email protected]> Sent: 1/9/2015 2:27 PM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [nhibernate-development] Visual NHibernate I'd recommend that someone just strip the commercial dependencies (binaries) out of the source and release it to a public repo in a broken state. Couldn't that short-circuit the chicken /egg issue and permit the community to participate in bootstrapping some replacements for the commercial dependencies...? There's no rule that says "code in a repo must compile" ;) -Steve B. From: Ricardo Peres Sent: 1/9/2015 12:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [nhibernate-development] Visual NHibernate Hi, Klaus! Well, the code is ready, but it is in a private repository still because it has dependencies on third-parties that Slyce licensed at the time (ActiPro SyntaxEditor, DevComponents DotNetBar and DevArt Universal). In order for the code to be released as open source, these will need to be replaced with something else. Of course, it's a chicken and egg problem: if we don't release the code somewhere, nobody will try to find solutions. I'll certainly welcome your help as soon as we get this straight. Oskar, Alex: what are your thoughts? RP On Friday, January 9, 2015 at 6:46:00 AM UTC, Klaus wrote: Hi Ricardo, i just created the first JIRA issues. I have seen that there is only "UI" in the Component combobox. The issues i created belongs to the code generator so it would be nice if you could add some more components. In my opinion the UI should become a complete rework to become more user friendly. But each one has it's own preference about look and feel of applications. I prefer a more wizard-like style with popup dialogs where the user is guided to the process. So i don't want to create UI related issues without a discussion about it. Do you have an idea hwen the source code will be public available? I'm very interesting in it because i think about contributing.
