Incubator PMC vs Board as sponsor (Re: Proposal for OFBiz to Join the ASF)

Apache Juice - Incubation
Dear Incubator folks, Apache Juice was been stalled for some time because of 1 legal issue on our side, namely the CLA from U of Memphis[1]. This was ok'ed by legal after quite a delay, but the project lost steam. AFAIK, all the legal requirements are taken care of now. There has been some discussions on security-dev and wss4j-dev [2]. We want to explore merging juice with existing projects namely Apache XML Security to carry on the work. Is this a valid option for us? Thoughts please. Also what do we need in terms of process to import the code to xml-security SVN and drop juice as a separate project. thanks, dims [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xml-juice-dev/200407.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] [2] http://www.mail-archive.com/security-dev@xml.apache.org/msg02758.html -- Davanum Srinivas : http://wso2.com/blogs/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That is absolutely correct. As that doc says html are the sources. That makes it easier for people to edit and preview, without needing to actually build. There are a couple of source files that use xml. Thanks for doing stuff like this.

[docs] formatting of source files (Was: r368916)
The source html documents for the Incubator website have paragraphs that are one long line. This makes it virtually impossible to read the diffs (see example below). Of course this is not the concern of Forrest. We need to use some sort of html tidy program to fix the whole of the site-author/ tree in one pass. I am reluctant to do that because there is the intention to move to some other format for the website sources and document generation system. However there seem to be delays. -David Author: crossley Date: Fri Jan 13 15:21:25 2006 New Revision: 368916 URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=368916view=rev Log: Spelling mistake: Exitting - Exiting Issue: INCUBATOR-11 Contributed by: Gavin Pity about the long paragraphs in the original source.
