Only whilst they are podlings.

This system is not applied to most TLPs, though they can request it.
And I'm betting that every single project that graduates will make that
request rather than learn the old cumbersome way.

I agree that the site update process is cumbersome, but it also gives
podling folks an incentive to log on to p.a.o and learn to use that
system to their advantage. Moving to svnpubsub would take that away.

That said, I think that most committers never have to go to p.a.o in
any case so perhaps the point is moot.

Ooh, good catch.

In general, take a look at http://incubator.apache.org/guides/website.html ;

The quick-and-dirty guide (should work fine on Mac OS X) is:

% 
% ./build.sh
% 
% svn ci

Then:

% ssh people.apache.org
% cd /www/incubator.apache.org
% svn up
...wait at least 1hr for it to appear on http://incubator.apache.org/...

If you have any questions, please yell though...  =)  -- justin

Cool - thanks!  I made some minor tweaks, so please review.  Namely, I
shifted the notice about the sw grant from "issues" to the "progress"
section.  The issues section is primarily for things that we need
either Incubator PMC or Board-level assistance in resolving - for
example, when we are stuck or need advice further than what the
mentors can provide.  At this time, I think we're fine - I expect
we'll have the lists and such created by the time the report is due.

[PROPOSAL] Dalesa P2P Web Cache Project

2010-02-02 Thread Wathsala Vithanage
Hi,

We would like to incubate the project Dalesa at Apache incubator and join
Apache Software Foundation.
You can find the proposal at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/DalesaProposal.

Dalesa is a P2P web cache which could become an alternative to existing
centralised web caches like Squid. At the moment we have a released the
first release candidate of version 1.0.0.
The project web is at http://dalesa.sourceforge.net

Full proposal is given below.

Thanks,

Wathsala

-

Dalesa Proposal

-Abstract

Dalesa is a Peer – to – Peer web caching software that provides a
caching proxy for web browsers.

-Proposal

Dalesa is a cooperative web caching software based on peer – to – peer
computing. Nodes participating in the network will expose their web
caches to the entire system through peer – to – peer web object
(document) lookup algorithms. This project focuses on using various
group communication technologies such as distributed hash tables and
IP multicasting to implement robust document lookup techniques.

The system will provide a proxy interface and an API for browsers and
other potential user agents. User agents such as web browsers can
embed the peer – to – peer lookup algorithm by using the API. However,
when changes to the code of the user agent is not allowed or
inconvenient the proxy can be used.

The system also comes equipped with a web interface for administration
and visualization of the data and activities of the corresponding peer
– to – peer node.

-Background

The project was founded by Wathsala Vithanage in January 2009 at Lanka
Software Foundation, Sri Lanka. Later Nuwan Gunratna and Nishshanka
Sirisena joined the project. Project was funded by Information and
Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka under eSociety grant for
the first year.

The system which was developed in C language appeared as a solution to
experiment cooperative web caching through peer – to – peer
technologies. At the initial stage, developers focused on developing
the simplest possible peer – to – peer document lookup algorithm using
IP multicasting. Initially, the system was divided into two
components; the HTTP caching module and peer – to – peer discovery
module.

The HTTP caching module performs HTTP request/response processing,
cache store management and cache index management. The document lookup
module is used for discovering documents (web objects) scattered
throughout the network.

The core of the system such as HTTP request/response processing,
Caching, Multicast based discovery protocol was coded by Wathsala,
including Win32 port. Nuwan has also contributed to the discovery
protocol. The web based UI is developed by Nishshanka from ground up.

-Rationale

During last couple of years there has been some research on peer – to
– peer web caching technologies, such as Squirrel based on Pastry DHT.
However, as of this writing there is no software that implement those
concepts, therefore we believe that peer – to – peer caching should
come out of it's research cocoon to the main stream computing as free
and open source products.

Apache has the greatest collection of web related software including
the Apache web server with a proven community oriented development
model called “Apache Way”. Therefore, we believe that Apache is the
ideal place for a free and open source peer – to – peer web cache that
will make the web faster.

-Initial Goal

1.) Developing a Peer - to - Peer web cache that will be equivalent to
a centralized web cache in functionality.

2.)Optimizing the performance, perceived latency of the developed
system based on performance measurements.

-Current Status

As of this writing, the project has a functional system based on IP
multicasting. The project progressed for about one year at Lanka
Software Foundation where three developers continuously contributed to
the project. IP multicasting system should be further improved based
on performance data collected from the test bed. At the same time
other group communication methods such as various DHTs and application
level multicasting can be used for building the peer - to - peer
overlay that will become an alternative to the current IP multicasting
based system.

--Meritocracy

Meritocracy is a practice we thrive for. At the moment due to small
number of developers and the short duration and novelty of the project
this principal is not practiced. However, as we open it for a larger
community where different individuals could continuously contribute to
the project meritocracy becomes the healthiest and the ideal practice.
Therefore, we plan to follow the practice of meritocracy as soon as
the code is ready for with it's first release candidate.

--Community

At the moment the Dalesa community is limited to three individuals as
it has just started but we are looking forward to increase this number
and grow the community. We believe that Dalesa could easily accomplish

Re: [PROPOSAL] Chatterbot, a lightweight framework for chat responders

2010-02-02 Thread Christopher Brind
Sorry for shaking things up, but it sounds like you got the gist of things.
 Using OSGi services to wire up Chatterbot makes it much more flexible in
the long run allowing developers/users to plug in alternative
implementations of things if they want to.  I'm quite happy to join your
project as a committer to help guide this if you wish. :)

Not sure about the proposal side of things, I'm sure someone will pipe up
soon enough.
