I posted this on Monday but it hasn't shown up on the list yet so I'm posting again. Could be my mail or could be SF, if it's duplicate forgive me.
<copy> Seems like SF was down for a better part of yesterday as traffic was unusually light. Anyways, I would like to apologize for bringing this matter to light (as I pretty much knew it would solicit the type of responses it already has). I didn't want to start any flaming and disrupt the list and I'm glad that Patrick has already settled things amicably. Regardless of how touchy this subject is, it is one that is important and does need addressing. While I already knew Hani's opinion of ww2 and how he was going to respond to this subject, I still needed the question to be asked as everyone deserves to know where this project is headed. As I see it, the project is in a state of disarray at the moment. You have some stuff hosted at dev.java.net and some stuff at sourceforge.net. Why hasn't anyone commented on the fact that both ww1 and ww2 are named the same in cvs (although different repositories), I like to check all my stuff out into the same directory and this means I can't check out ww1 and ww2 into the same directory. It's documentation on the OS site is confusing to the user as you don't even have links to WW2 off the main page (you need to go into wiki to find anything). This is personal opinion but I don't think wiki should be the focal point of all your documentation. It doesn't inhibit a user's navigation, thus providing a different user experience for anyone trying to learn/read the docs. If the project's developers can't even agree on a long term strategy for WW, then you might as well split off now, rename ww2 and go on your merry way. Although idealistic, what I'd like to see is ww1 get bug fixes and performance enhancements and that's it. If there is new functionality the ww1 userbase needs, they should migrate to ww2. The argument that ww1 is well tested, peer reviewed, etc. doesn't hold it's salt if you start adding AOP goodies, etc because the code has evolved. Ideally, I'd also like to see buy in from the ww1 guys with the ww2 ideas, where they would actually actively participate in it's development. This shouldn't be a "us versus them" thing (if it is, split up for christ sakes). </copy> Wayland Chan email: wchanATtrekspaceDOTcom ---------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email account from http://www.trekspace.com Your Internet Virtual Desktop! ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
