Sling board report draft (due May 13th)

2009-05-05 Thread Bertrand Delacretaz
Hi,

See http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/May2009.

Here's my suggested draft:

Sling is a scriptable OSGI-based web framework that uses a Java
Content Repository, such as Apache Jackrabbit, to store and manage
content.

Sling entered incubation on September 5th, 2007, and is actively
preparing for graduation.

There are no issues which require Incubator PMC or board attention at
the moment.

Community
Lots of interest around Sling at ApacheCon in March, including
fruitful discussions with people from the Sakai community who are
starting to use Sling for a new version of their software, and
starting to actively participate on our mailing lists. Meeting people
from the Apache Felix and ServiceMix projects has helped build more
community bridges around OSGi.

Vidar Ramdal was elected as a committer and PPMC member.

Juan José Vázquez Delgado, Sling committer since the start of
incubation, became more active, contributed a pipelining module based
on Cocoon 3, and is working on improved OSGi testing frameworks.

Mike Mueller was granted write access to our wiki as a documentation
committer, iCLA on file.

In general, steadily increasing community activity with more
contributions, discussions and patches. Mailing list stats
(http://people.apache.org/~coar/mlists.html) also show a steady
increase in subscribers, now at 130 subscribers and average of 17
posts/day on the sling dev list (there's no user list at the moment).

Software
Preparing the new release, awaiting imminent release of some
dependencies to cut it.

Continuous integration builds have been activated on hudson.zones.apache.org.

Issues before graduation
Sustained activity from at least two non-Day committers, along with
the new release and increased community interest and engagement, seems
to indicate that Sling should graduate soon.

Licensing and other issues
None

Well, I hope so! ;-) Maybe we can get some of the Obama hype for
change into the world of web application frameworks: Sling - yes, we
can!

Just kidding,

 Sure.

 On the other hand, I keep thinking of whether we should change our
 community roles specification to separate committer and PMC roles. This
 way we could more easily vote in committers and would not have to care
 about whether those committers committed enough to also gain PMC status.


That's what we did at Felix as well. We did gain some committers this
way. Not sure whether it would make a big difference but I'd be up for
giving it a shot.

Yepp, I think we should try this - although I don't think that this 
solves the diversity problem; It doesn't make a difference: if you have 
lets say 10 committers from company A and 2 from other companies, it's 
the same thing if there are all 10 in the PMC or just 4 from company A.

sure what that means.

Hi Jukka,

Am Montag, den 28.01.2008, 11:11 +0200 schrieb Jukka Zitting:
 The ASF board is asking all TLPs to review their use of cryptography
 and to check that the requirements of the export control policy [1]
 are met. Does Sling use cryptography somewhere? If not, it would be
 good to add a short note like: No export control notifications are
 needed for Apache Sling.

Yes, Sling does not use crypto and does not contain explicit hooks to
use crypto.

 
 BTW, while trying to review the above I found no clear place where all
 the Sling dependencies were listed. Is there any, or could we come up
 with one?

There is no combined list of dependencies currently. But off the top of
my head, the dependencies are three-fold:

   - Java Runtime (java.* and javax.*)
   - Apache libraries (jackrabbit, commons, ...)
   - Thirdparty: CGLIB, Jetty, KXml (I think, that is about it)

To get a complete list of dependencies we would have to analyze the
dependencies of each pom just like the maven's dependency report does.

Felix
