OK, here goes a revised version, thanks for your comments: I hope my wording is better at capturing the outcome of our packages discussions..
=========== The River community is starting some real work. The initial code submissions have been filed at the ASF secretary, voted in and landed in SVN, the committers account are in place and the PPMC is set up. No more excuses, now it's time for coding & community! The discussion is now moving to technical issues and code evolution, which is a very good sign. There has been a discussion about package naming, as the code in SVN is under a non org.apache.* namespace: given the sheer amount of issues with backward compatibility and supporting existing users, there has been a general consensus on getting our feet wet with the current code base, integrate a few patches that have been held off while the code was to be migrated to the ASF infrastructure, and devise a roadmap ( possibly with assistance from general/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) for migration to the ASF namespace: this is high priority and the community realizes how it might be important to have a decision as soon as possible, even more if River is to publish incubating releases. =========== -- Gianugo Rabellino Sourcesense, making sense of Open Source: http://www.sourcesense.com Orixo, the XML business alliance: http://www.orixo.com (blogging at http://www.rabellino.it/blog/)
