Hello: Okay, so here's my 0.02:
Before we start reinventing the project-management-wheels that we learnt with the launch of perl6, I would suggest that we do something like the following: 0. An RFC process to get input from the community about the feature set desirable from p5ee. 1. A designer or a group of designers that will design the framework: Perrin and Gunther come to mind as folks whose judgement I trust. There _are_ others, lets identify them. This group will be charged with the munching on the RFPs and come up with a set of recommendations as regards the feature set of the framework 2. Once the desired framework has taken shape, we can divide the framework into functionally distinct components and establish the APIs for the components. 3. Each component will get an implementation team that will decide on the implementation using existing modules or build new glue code if necessary. I think the important thing is to develop a specification. Some people have expressed reservations about aping the J2EE spec. But, instead of re-inventing the wheel here, lets take a hard look at the J2EE spec and decide what is most desirable (hence the RFC process). Ajit
