if we break the api it is not our responsibility to fix it, it is the job of whoever is responsible for that wicket-stuff project. Technically, you are right. Practically you are not. * To start with, It's just a matter of courtesy. * It's much less work for the one doing the API break to fix o

In my opinion Wicket Stuff is used as a Wicket specific incubator for projects that will end up in core. At least for projects that have 'use' as intent. this is not always the case. it is also a project place when the license doesn't work out. So to say that it is an incubator for everything

i think what we should do is create a two-tier system where projects that are alive are directly in trunk, while other projects are in a subdirectory of trunk. projects can move between these two tiers as needed. Perhaps a wicket-stuff-incubator?? ideas can be tried out in the incubator module

well, thats exactly it - very little is required to do this, just an svn move. we should establish procedures/guidelines for what it takes to move from tier 2 to tier 1 and viceversa, and where new projects start out. -igor On 5/6/07, Eelco Hillenius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i think what w

what defines a project as alive? at the least it works, not just compiles. take data-hibernate 3. it compiles, but doesnt work because it hasnt been synced with hibernate 3 changes. It is fixed on a version in the POM, and to my knowledge it works with that version! if someone was to pick it u

I think it's simple. If the projects compile for a given branch, there is no need to pull them out. And even if they don't compile for a while - which didn't happen that much as I'm generally playing the cleanup guy after API breaks -; as long as the Wicket branch they are written for doesn't appr
