Re: [feedparser] Discuss: FeedParser move to Commons Proper...

What I'm worried about this is that we might be a bit early for a top 
level java project. We only have 3 developers and we haven't done a 
release yet (because we're prevented from doing one).
Yes, probably too early.
Is there a pattern of projects moving from the commons to a top level 
jakarta project?
HttpClient is the only one that has tried to go to be a subproject within 
Jakarta. However it still isn't there, despite it being approved long ago.

Also, Jakarta is an odd destination to head for. The ASF board encourages 
projects to move out of Jakarta and become top level at apache (like Ant, 
Struts etc) (Note this is controversial with some people)

I just want to do whats easy and conventional for now ;)
If you believe that you can do a quality 0.5 release now then you are 
probably OK for commons promotion. However, you may need to advertise a 
possible package rename if you intend to move out of commons longer term.

Also, read the commons charter and see if you think feedparser fits.

The sole reason HttpClient is not currently seen as present at the
Jakarta level is our intention to release HttpClient 3.0 out of Jakarta
Commons in order to avoid confusion primarily associated with package
(re)naming and so on. As soon as HttpClient 3.0 goes final we will move
quickly to establish presence at the Jakarta level.

You can count on our (at least my) assistance with promotion process
should you decide to give it a go
