IIRC [EMAIL PROTECTED] is actually a President's committee sort-of "hanging off" infra@ that's been tasked with figuring all this stuff out. The reason its not just the Maven PMC in the first place is that there's some other people that have something to say as well (i.e. precisely the people listed below). So I don't get why there's an ownership issue to reconsider. The maven PMC peeps to work on this (Brett, Mark, anyone else who volunteers) just get on the repository mailing list and JFDI. > 2) Henk, myself (Maven PMC), Mark Diggory (if available), representative > from interested Apache projects PMC (most likely someone from Ant) get > together to sort out exactly what we think needs doing (we can use the > repository list if appropriate) Yep, sounds like a good idea. > 3) suggest small steps to fix each problem rather than coming up with a > killer solution that will never get implemented Sounds like a good idea too. I'm guessing this is why I bailed out of that mailing list in the first place; we were solving too big a problem at once. > 4) can use the repository wiki for information based on what has already > been discussed And again, sounds like a good idea. > I'd add that to use a common repository, there needs an implementation > for all projects to use. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] project was not tasked to deal with that. I think this conflicts with #3. Maven has support, ant will have support, magic (from the DPML guys) has support, several ant-based scripts are around that provide support. Any tool that can HTTP GET can trivially be made to get files from the repository. For example I think I've done the basics in python, ruby, and bash+wget+grep every now and then. Cheers, - Leo
