Hi,

When we implement Tuscany, once a while we run into issues/holes/ 
missing features in the SCA spec (SDO in some cases). I'm wondering  
if we have an open source endorsed process on how to deal with such  
issues. Because they may impact the programming model (the way how  
users use SCA or SDO), I think we should be extra cautious on  
making decisions.


Here're a list of things I can see:

1) Capture the requirement (problem statement)
2) Make proposals (could be more than one, maybe with prototypes in  
sandbox?)

3) Reach consenus in the community by discussions
4) Present the proposal to the spec group
5) Conclude if it will be become an official spec feature (if  
accepted by the spec group) or a tuscany-specific extension (we  
should use tuscany namespace to model SCDL extensions if required)

5) Make changes in the code base with an agreed solution

I suggest that we keep track of them on the Tuscany wiki site.

What do you guys think?


Sounds good.

I did something like this for the CDI proposal - there is a page on  
the wiki at:

http://wiki.apache.org/ws/Tuscany/SpecProposals

Is the spec group pulling proposals from Tuscany wiki?
If not, maybe we need to push the proposals to the spec group and we may
need a process.

There is precedent for that - for the CDI proposal I just sent a link  
to the wiki page to the spec mailing list.

Right now Jeremy and I have been doing this as we are members of the  
spec group as well. However, there is no reason others can't do this  
as well. There will be a new OSOA website (mentioned by Raymond)  
where issues can be raised directly so this may facilitate that process.

Re: How to deal with spec-related issues

The site is not quite public yet (probably next week). If you are  
interested, could you send me your contact information offline and I  
will facilitate looking into this? Also, are you currently employed  
by one of the collaborating companies?
