All of these should be done in the Community Working Group.
I'd like to propose cleanly re-implementing JavaFoundation and JavaWebObjects as open source. Q has already done some pretty great work on implementing foundation (in NSFoundation4J) and we could start by: 1) Writing a ****ton of unit tests for Apple's JavaFoundation. 2) Writing a new JavaFoundation (perhaps based on Q's NSFoundation4J) that conforms exactly to Apple's API and passes said unit tests. 3) allow the daring to experiment with replacing WO's/Apple's JavaFoundation and fix bugs as they come up. 4) Eventually introduce the new JavaFoundation as a component of Wonder, deprecating Apple's version. Repeat this process for the JavaWebObjects framework. Once these two frameworks are open, we can start working towards an actual future—where the community has complete control over WO. And yes, this assumes the community will move away from EOF as a persistence framework, but this is easily made possible by Cayenne. I wrote a little app to look at the APIs that would need testing and re-implementation, it isn't really that much… http://smu.is/oo/ Cheers, - hugi _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
