Richard, By having the why should Felix...-attitude, you solidify a stalemate stance. It creates a why should Aries...-attitude on the other side, for instance pointing out there are many examples of multiple spec implementations at ASF. I'm not suggesting that Felix should bend over backwards,

I will try to keep this short. The OSGi Service Platform is composed of the core and compendium specs. The EEG specs are not in any way special and will ultimately end up as part of the compendium spec. Apache Felix was incubated to build a community at Apache around implementing the OSGi

We have in this proposal a lot of people who are not felix committers and who are not even apache committers at all. They want to work on some code and create a community around it. The way the ASF works means that the incubator is the right place to do so. The only other solution is to develop

From my perspective, the incubator isn't a loophole around the meritocracy approach of existing TLPs. Submitting a couple of patches can't be to high a barrier for people new to the ASF and the code base. We regularly vote people in as committers if they contribute to felix subprojects and

Karaf is a runtime, which means it includes the OSGi framework and you can install it and start it, providing a number of additional features compared to a plain OSGi framework. The goal of Aries is not to provide such a runtime, but rather provide components that can be installed into different

I don't think we disagree in principle, but in approach. Apache Felix was charted to host Apache licensed implementations of OSGi specifications. So, what makes sense to me is: 1. Having Apache community members work on standard spec implementations at Apache Felix. 2. Then if those
