Re: Proposal

2022-05-17 Thread Michael Wechner
I agree, but I think we need to give some more concrete guidance how to 
develop an open community and develop in the open, because although it 
is clear to ASF people, I think it is often not so clear for many other 
people


@msacks: Did you already have a look at 
https://incubator.apache.org/cookbook/ ?

Sure.

Initially the community would be a private group put together by me.

Then we can discuss building it once others have decided if it’s even a
useful application first?

Related, I don't see anything "community" in your post. You state "I" have
got code, not "we".

You can have the best code in the universe, but if you don't have a
community developing it, it's not really a good fit here.

So tell us less about your code and more about your community developing
it.

The Board has in the past condemned balkanization of community, and my
take on this situation is exactly that.

This is not yet another web framework, which often brought forward as
examples that the ASF encourages competition within. Those typically have a
different angle, approach or metaphor, something making each very
different beasts. But in this case we are talking about the same spec.
There is no real distinguishing features and huge overlap of commonality.
  


there isn't just one JCR implementation and I am glad there is a choice 
and some healthy competition.
Yes, the ASF only hosts one JCR implementation, but would it matter if 
another would be part of the ASF?
I don't think it would matter, but it would rather show that the ASF is 
really open-minded about different approaches.

I think this is a NIH-syndrome in play, in the best case oh we have the
code working already and the worst case we don't like to collaborate with
them, and there is reason to think that that goes for both sides of the
fence.
  


if so, then let's be specific on this and parties should explain 
themselves re this particular allegation

I want to see Chemistry capable to absorb such contribution and collaborate
heavily to bring such codebase in.
And I want to see the people of the OpenCMIS proposal to show that they
indeed can work with others.

Exactly how the merged community goes about with the technical integration
is its own business, but I am worried that the new codebase will not receive
the welcome I hope, the Chemistry base will dominate, and the OpenCMIS
proposer get fed up and leaves. Important Mentors understand the risks here,
and keep eyes extra open for attrition, domination and forceful
consensus-seeking.

I think discussion should continue on Chemistry dev@ list. If agreement
can't be reached there, then I am NOT in favor of incubating OpenCMIS
separately and will vote -1 to such proposal.


that seems to me very wrong. If you have two folks speaking to each 
other and in the end they find out
that they cannot work together for some reason, then we send one of them 
into the desert just because
the other one was there first (especially if you have enough space 
actually). Let's first see how the discussion

goes and then decide how to continue.

 I will also form myself an
opinion of how well Chemistry is trying to collaborate, and it may improve
or deteriorate its status with me.

This can become an excellent opportunity for all involved to show off their
ApacheWay skills
  


I would be glad if we could stop refering to the ApacheWay, because 
AFAIK there is no strict definition of
the ApacheWay. I would rather prefer if we could be specific, for 
example that both parties make a concrete list,
where they are different code-wise and why they think it is not possible 
to merge the code initially and also make

a plan what the common interfaces could be initially and in the future.

I must admit that it's human nature, but I think - but I'm probably

I cannot see any contradiction. Can you explain where exactly you see

Hi,

I just grab the description of both projects :

OpenCMIS will deliver a Java implementation of the OASIS CMIS 
specification.


Apache Chemistry is a generic Java language implementation of the 
upcoming OASIS CMIS specification. 


I barely see how two communities working on two projects with the very 
same target can't collaborate and form the best possible community to 
fulfill this target, leveraging the great people from both of the 
current project...


This is where I see a contradiction : it seems like there is some 
divergence on the technical side, which is not really the Incubator 
concern. What is important to us is that a community is built, because 
it's the guarantee for a long term existence for the project. We don't 
have the resources and time to setup a darwinian process here :)


I am not sure what exactly you mean with we, but I would argue that 
the CMS community out there is rather large and has enough

potential to provide contributors for both projects.

It's up to each incubator project itself to build a healthy community 
and AFAIK these rules are clear and in particular what it takes to leave 
the incubator.
So either a project will make it or not. I am assuming this is what the 
incubator is good for, right?


Cheers

Michael

My concern is that if there are two separate svn trees then factoring

ourselves, having two different maven release cycles, and having
dependencies to foreign SNAPSHOT projects, will not help. To me it's a
waste of time and effort.

Let me ask the question differently: what's lost by having the code in
the Chemistry svn tree?
  


Beside that I agree with Joe's email I would additionally argue that you 
can easily share code without being
within the same project and having it separate from each other it forces 
you to make
the architecture/code even better,  which I think has (nearly) only 
advantages.

Michael,

don't get me wrong, I have no objections in principle for having two
or more competing projects. It's just that my bar is higher in this
case, as:

- we are talking about two podlings, which IIRC is a first;

- they both aim to implement a moving target;

- the prospective OpenCMIS community started seemingly with the wrong
foot by not addressing the Chemistry community first and looking for
potential mutual engagements, despite being in the best possible
situation, such as having a committer in common;

- when asked to try and contact Chemistry, Paul chalked it up as time consuming;

- the proposal came in with no candidate champion or mentors.

None of the above issues is a blocker, but the sum of the parts
doesn't give me exactly a warm, fuzzy feeling. I would appreciate the
proponents having a discussion with Chemistry first. If OpenCMIS,
however, prefers to skip that step and manages to score champions and
mentors, I won't stand in the way.
  


sounds reasonable to me :-)

Cheers

Michael

of CTR and in the case of performance/scalability this can be very bad, 
because the actual problems are often detected
at a very late stage and then it can be very hard to solve these issues,

I see the postive sides of CTR re community and progress,  but I think

believing you that there is no legal requirement (I am no lawyer ;-),

But for the future I think it's in the best interest of the ASF to think 
about this more thoroughly, because it can be very misleading if one is 
using Java packages with org.apache.*, but this code


- might have nothing to do with the ASF
- might be a fork of existing ASF, but has been changed quite a bit in 
the meantime


To me the first step would be to talk to these people and ask them 
kindly to change the package names.
If they will change it, then almost everyone will be happy, except 
people with dependencies, but that can be fixed by keeping previous 
versions available and adding a note.


The problem is when people don't want to change and this is where the 
ASF should ask itself do we care (well, I do) and if the ASF does 
care, then what can be done? Are there legal means? Are there other means?

Also I think Maven could help with that, for instance I have made tsik 
available within our own maven repo


http://maven2.wyona.org/apache-org-incubator/tsik/r389866/

such that projects as for instance joid can reference it

http://maven2.wyona.org/joid/joid/r84-patched/

and in case joid is ever being updated to the new tsik package names, 
one can easily switch

Asking someone politely to rename the package is hardly throwing our

very much agreed and I guess if one can show a migration path (as I have

renaming the packages.


But with the ASF member hat on I think the package org.apache.*  is  
something which the ASF should protect, just as the logo and the brand 
name itself resp. add a policy to the incubation process which people 
have to agree to when entering the incubation phase.

Re: [suggestion] making documentation management more lightweight

Jo!

The whole jira-patch-commit workflow for the documentation seems  
annoying. At least it annoys me -- in particular the patches don't  
show up in my email so I have to visit jira which I try and avoid as  
much as possible :-).


Suggestions:

1) create

   http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/staging

   writeable by *all* committers

   svn cp http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk \
   http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/staging
   vi infrastructure/trunk/subversion/authorization/asf-authorization
   svn commit infrastructure/trunk/subversion/authorization/asf- 
authorization


2) create an svn:externals on

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site- 
publish


   like this

 website-staging http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ 
public/staging/site-publish


   so that you can see the work-in-progress at

 http://incubator.apache.org/website-staging/

3) instead of sending documentation patches, people who are helping
   with the documentation work on the staging branch

4) set up svnmerge.py for staging/ and trunk/
   * see http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py
   * make sure to block the revision from step #2!

5) propose documentation changes on the mailing list
   * get diffs

 cd incubator/trunk
 svnmerge.py --bidirectional diff  ~/staging-diffs.txt
 # or use -r to get only a few revisions

   * send diff to mailing list for discussion and lazy
 consensus approval

6) merge

   cd incubator/trunk
   svnmerge.py --bidirectional avail
   svnmerge.py --bidirectional # or use -r12345,...
   svn commit -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt
   cd ../staging
   svnmerge.py
   svn commit -F svnmerge-commit-message.txt

7) rejoice at the lightweight workflow, which also survives Robert's
   laptop sinking to the bottom of the sea!



what about a CMS with a workflow, which would sit on top SVN accessing 
both branches (staging resp. draft and live) and hence would
allow devs still accessing it through other SVN clients and also allow 
updating

the live site as static SVN update?

We have implemented versioning and workflow into Yulup 
(http://www.yulup.org), which is available within the recent trunk 
version or next week's release. Yulup does decouple this functionality 
from the actual server implementation.


I would be happy to help to set something up in case this would make 
sense for the incubator folks.

Ah, that's an old subject! Several people have done prototypes along  
these lines (I've done about one and a half in python, but in python  
the most promising codebase is probably (still) SubWiki), and I'll  
argue something like this (edit this page links backed by  
subversion) is what we really really want. Mozilla has (or had) it  
for their site.


[EMAIL PROTECTED] was set up with this in mind, ages ago, and  
there's still some requirements/designs lying around for how it would  
work. David Crossley is a good person to ask about it.


I think one of the problems why this effort has stalled has been that  
apache has so many CMS or CMS-ish tools that it is really hard to  
come up with a common way to do things that satisfies enough people  
to make setting it up worthwhile, so you get into loads of arguing.



well, it seems to me that SVN is the common denominator at the ASF and 
only a tool
which is able to connect to SVN will satisfy enough people within the 
ASF. That's one of the reasons I have spent time how a CMS can use SVN 
as a data repo.




We have implemented versioning and workflow into Yulup (http:// 
www.yulup.org), which is available within the recent trunk version

I would be happy to help to set something up in case this would  make

I'd rather not see a tool like this for a project-specific setup --  
anything that writes to SVN needs to be very carefully evaluated for  
security and stability reasons and be maintained and supported by  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]



I understand, but I would assume writing to draft/staging SVN on a 
dedicated zone would be less an issue and then allow dedicated people to 
merge from there into the live SVN as you describe it above.


If you're interested in signing up for the bigger  job, please work 
with site-dev@ (and infrastructure@).


I can tell you right now that something off of trunk of a non- 
Apache project that's in a 0.x release series, doesn't document how  
it uses SVN, and is licensed under the GPL is not that likely to  
receive a warm welcome immediately. I could set something up will  
also probably receive a healthy amount of scepticism; I wrote a blog  
post about why that is ages ago:


   http://www.jroller.com/page/lsd/20050717#why_we_say_no_to

all that said, don't let me discourage you (too much)! We could  
definitely use this, but you'll have to volunteer for (quite) a bit  
more work and get some others to help out ;-)



I very well understand what you are saying ;-) and I don't want to 
impose anything, but I believe that I finally have the tools at hand to 
do this and I am currently working on this for my own needs. Hence I 
wanted to ask and see how big the skepticism is and I don't mean this 
cynical, but just would like to be constructive.


Anyway I will start with http://incubator.apache.org/guides/website.html 
and will see how far I will get and will hopefully come back within 
reasonable time :-)

+1 which is certainly non-binding.
Just a note from the Lenya-Wyona experience: It seems to me that
Dominique should try to become more transparent on the mailing list,
especially since he is also working for Day Software (some are more 
equal ;-).

Also I think it is important to differentiate between PMC and committer.
I am not sure if Jackrabbit does this at the moment.
I think somebody should become quite easily a committer if providing 
useable code on a regular basis, but political decisions are another 
thing and
it normally takes longer to build trust so that one is able to recognize how
independent one's mind is.

Steven Noels wrote:
Lenya has an awkward history IMHO. It has been force-fed into the 
bowls of the ASF upon the idea that a community was more important 
than code, and because of pet-peeves of people: the ASF needed a CMS 
project, and Lenya would be a community seed for that - regardless of 
the community aptness to serve as one. The original Lenya folks were 
clueless about the Apache Open Source Way, but felt so much invited 
into the ASF that they figured they were doing a good job. The 
original number of committers was bloated, and their communication 
about the incubation status of Lenya was tendencious at best. Wyona 
didn't do a great job at opening up the project to the outside world 
(other than dumping code into public CVS), and there wasn't much 
direction or shared project ownership.

well, I think it was and is quite different, but it doesn't make sense 
to argue about perceptions.

I am not saying that none of us didn't make mistakes, but my perception 
is nevertheless quite different, especially since I see ourselves as 
individuals and not as a company within the Lenya community.

It certainly makes sense to learn from concrete mistakes, but not from
assumptions or perceptions, because we will probably never stop argueing.
Also I think all of us acted very promptly on requests from various sides.
So, I think the important thing is to look ahead and see the positive side
as Steven is stating below.
What I see now is people empowering themselves and caring only about 
the project, not about all the peripheral dreams or company ambitions. 
This is a tremendous shift in project governance. I think the ASF 
needs to acknowledge and endorse this shift and give these people the 
ability to continue their course.

agreed
Whether this course will be successful, we will only know within a 
year or so. I hope these folks will be able to attract new committers 
and continue what they started.

I am very optimistic on this, but I guess you know that ;-)
Michi

I'll be carefully looking after ASF brand abuse however in the
forthcoming months. This entire incubation episode has left me with
dubious feelings: for a long time, I've been thinking that Lenya would
be a sad example of premature ASF donation. It is good to see that some
volunteers finally stepped up and managed to create real momentum, and
I can only hope they will last for a long time. Lenya will still need
to acquire more external contributors to help them with this effort.

I'm glad to hear about the latter part of that paragraph, but you 
have to
admit that the first part of the paragraph is enough to give one 
pause.  So
please explain why we should have a incubator release while there are 
still
so many questions regarding the viability of the community?  Yes, you 
are
indicating that there are new members within the Lenya community who are
focused on doing everything properly.  Great, but I'm still trying to
understand why there is a need to put out a distribution rather than 
put all
of the energy into helping Lenya conclude incubation and then release.

As I said, it's just a matter of the community maturing, and feeling 
two urges at the same time. Order isn't very important here.

I hope this clarifies things a bit, feel free to nag me with other 
questions.

Cheers,
/Steven

And as you acknowledge, I have seen plenty of change during the recent 
months, something I am very happy about.

I am very optimistic on this, but I guess you know that ;-)

I am happy to see you happy. :-)

vice versa :-)

I understand your subtle hint and agree with what you say about 
yourself. ;-)

It's nice to hear that :-)

Frankly: it is because of this apparent shift in attitude that I'm 
feeling Lenya is finally getting ready.

Re: Incubating Lenya for Cocoon

The Cocoon project has voted to accept the Lenya proposal, thus Lenya 
is officially in the Incubator  :-)

First of all, we need to get the legal stuff straight.

1) License grant

We need to recieve papers that transfer rights to the ASF.
It is necessary to transfer rights for the package, the core code, and 
any new code produced by the project.

Attached is the software grant, and an example that has been used for 
another project.

It has to be printed, signed, and faxed into the ASF (+1-410-803-2258) 
or mail to:

The Apache Software Foundation
1901 Munsey Drive
Forest Hill, MD 21050-2747, U.S.A.
2) Committers

We need a list of all active committers that will work on the project.
They will have to sign a contributors agreement and send it to the ASF 
as for the above license grant.

http://incubator.apache.org/forms/ASF_Contributor_License_2_form.pdf

Welcome! :-)

Thanks a lot for the friendly welcome :-)

Michael

Sure thing. Since Lenya does publishing too, what is the future of
Forrest in your scenario?
To be honest, I am not very familiar with Forrest yet.

But from out of the belly I would characterize Forrest as a specific 
publication type,
with an information architecture suited for software projects, with 
various skins/layouts
to choose from and a specific set of functionalities, such as for 
instance to create the site
automatically out of CVS (right?).

Hence I guess Lenya could be used to manage an instance of the Forrest 
publication type
whereas Forrest could be considered as a best practice publication type.

But maybe I am totally wrong, because as I said above I am not very 
familiar with Forrest
and I am sure there are many other people which are much better able to 
steer collaboration
into the right direction.

Thanks

Michael

   

I would like to see close collaboration between this projects.
