+1 -----Original Message----- From: Ate Douma [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2010 5:02 PM To: Portals PMC Cc: Portals Discussion; [email protected] Subject: [VOTE] Termination of the WSRP4J incubator project
Dear Portals PMC and Portals community members, The WSRP4J incubator project has been dormant for several years already. The last commit dates back almost 2 years ago, the last emails send to the user/dev mailing list even longer than that. An important activity blocker for the Portals committers has been the unclear situation with the possible IP issue. That issue has finally been addressed sometime last year and no longer holds a lock on further progress for the project. However, although there is known interest in a proper WSRP implementation within Apache Portals, especially when integrated with the Jetspeed-2 Portal, it looks like the WSRP4J project itself lost its momentum, its active committers and its community. The facts are: the current WSRP4J code base is now too outdated: based on also outdated Pluto 1.x and targeting the WSRP v1.0 spec while the WSRP v2.0 spec is available already for almost 2 years now. If a proper WSRP implementation is wished for, it should now implement the v2.0 spec and should be easy to integrate with (at least) current Jetspeed-2 Portal. Trying to revive the WSRP4J project or even just reusing the outdated code-base for that purpose no longer makes sense. More likely we'll start writing a new WSRP (v2.0) producer from scratch within the Jetspeed-2 project itself, and a generic WSRP consumer portlet application at Portals Applications. As the Mentors of the WSRP4J project haven't been active in a long time either, the Portals PMC as Sponsor of WSRP4J has taken over their responsibilities. Therefore I'm asking the Portals PMC to VOTE for proposing the termination of the WSRP4J podling to the Incubator PMC. This Vote is open for the next 72 hours. Please cast your vote: [ ] +1 for termination of WSRP4J [ ] 0 for Don't care [ ] -1 for No, please keep it alive (do provide solid arguments why) With kind regards, Ate Douma This communication is for informational purposes only.
