Hi, As being an observer in the JDO incubating project, I want to let other members of the Incubator to know that;
1. The collaboration aspect of the technical sides has been handled perfectly. Jira issues are posted, mailing list are used to discuss various approaches, consensus styled decisions and a high rate of progress. 2. Community-wise things are slightly less rosy. The people at Sun and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are doing a great job on pushing the technical side of this project, but probably uncertain on how to engage more people effectively. I think the immense speed of the project is probably a deterent, and not really a fault of the project or people in it per se. Also, I think the effective split with the sister project jpox.org, is making the participation looking smaller than it really is. Craig, Michelle, Michael^2 and everyone else; I think you have adjusted well to the Apache Way (after a shaky start :o) ) and keep up the good work. Please note that from a Incubator graduation point of view, finishing the "product" is secondary. Getting more helping hands from a diversity of people is priority. Other important items missing; * The Incubator project page does not contain the JDO project. (Is that the responsibility of the incubating project or the Incubator?) * There is no STATUS file produced. It should go into https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-publish/projects/ I hope this will further the incubating process of this exciting project :o) Cheers Niclas Hedhman --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
