>From the Peanut Gallery, All of this discussion on (too many at once) [VOTE] threads suggest to me that the [VOTE]s are premature.
I don't understand the inclination to conduct [VOTE]s here that are at best straw votes and generally serve to establish that there is no consensus because of all the qualifications that are placed on the few [VOTE]s that are apparently cast in the blur of discussions. I think the key matter is that there is not enough discussion to tease out consensus and even find opportunities for lazy consensus. Then a [VOTE] becomes a formal ratification in those rare cases where such a thing is required (e.g., to back up a personnel action or take a resolution to the Board). I think these discussions about clustering/splitting the Commons Math components are very useful and interesting to observe. The use of [VOTE] is worrisome and apparently useless other than for the attention it evokes. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: Gary Gregory [mailto:garydgreg...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2016 08:30 > To: Commons Developers List <dev@commons.apache.org> > Subject: Re: [VOTE] New component: Rational numbers > [ ... ] > > This (and new components VOTE thread) paints a more confusing picture > than > before to me. > > You are proposing to organize code into Commons Component/possible > TLP/Attic/Something based on the current knowledge of some participants, > including yourself, and I am grateful that you've been doing all this > work. > Part of me wants to stay out of the way and let the do-o-cracy play out > but > another part really feels this will be counter productive in the end > (not > to mention a lot of busy work.) > > As was mentioned by someone else before, people come and go, with > different > levels of expertise. > > For me, the keep-it-simple principle, not to mention least surprise says > to > keep whole the pile in one place, in Commons or as a TLP, either way. > Whether we use more than one Maven module here or as a TLP is a > different > matter and not relevant to the residence of the code base.
