Sounds like something we have to get a lot better at. At a guess, about 90% of the code at the ASF that I've written began life outside of the ASF Infrastructure.
Rule-wise, what's the definition of this: * Single class by ASF CLA authors to add to Apache, developed outside of the ASF. * Single package " " * Single component " " (ie: going into commons sandbox) If there are non ASF CLAs as authors, definitely needs to do legal stuff etc. Only really concerned about code from ASF peoples atm. For example, I'd like to add SystemDataSource to Commons DbUtils. The class is wholly written by me, currently reside in osjava.org's gj-core. Would it be held up by the notoriously painful Fax (or in my case the US postal office as it's much easier than faxing). Especially interesting in Commons-Proxy's case as it's from a body of work (Syringe) that the ASF/Jakarta don't have an obvious system for handling; an ASF developer who wants to create a Jakarta subproject from scratch. Proposed to Commons, but considered outside of Commons remit. - Additionally. What does the software grant apply to? Let's say I get a grant for gj-find. I continue to maintain gj-find outside of the ASF. Can I continually port code over, or do I have to get a new grant for each new porting. Basically at the 'we need to understand some solid use cases' stage. Hen On 8/21/05, Noel J.
