JAMES has no problem attracting developers: every month, someone shows
up with a particular aim or interest. JAMES has a major issue
converting developers into committers. IMHO the problem is that JAMES
is too big and it takes too long to understand. you've got to be
really dedicated even to start work on it.
I think - or at least thought at first - that moving IMAP out of trunk
is very unfortunate.
But let's also be pragmatic! If making trunk leaner helps us releasing,
let's do it. Let's at least _try_ it. If it doesn't work out, we revert
it. If later we want to have IMAP in as an experimental,
disabled-by-default module, ok. But that's for later.
I thought that having modules allowed us to keep working on a single
source tree.
I don't understand who is convinced that moving IMAP out of trunk is
what is needed to release.
IMHO there is no shame in releasing code marked as unstable together
with stable code. We introduced modules also for this, didn't we?
For now let's trust and support those who take reasonable action.
Let's not wait paralized for the branch who never comes, or the big
trunk-cleanup which everybody is too scared to do.
Please support those (Robert, in this case) who act today.
Following his proposal we have nothing to loose, really. But if it works
out, we win a lot.
You probably can't understand how long I hoped to read something similar
on this list.
