I'm going to remove my original -1 from this thread and vote +1 for it. My apologies for helping to create this major ruckus. This type of heated discussion does not help build communities and cross community interactions that would benefit all of us in many ways. That is especially so because this has partly become ServiceMix vs. WS .. which is terrible because that's not what the discussions should be about at all. In any case, the WS project is BIG at the moment and I'd personally -1 any proposal to add 20+ more committers to our already overloaded committer list.
So, if the ServiceMix folks feel that a BPEL engine needs to be near to their heart, then I'm all for it. I realize that my knowledge of JBI isn't enough to have a strong position on the technical rationale for it but am happy to defer to folks likes James, Dan, Aron and others that obviously do. I'm not on the Geronimo PMC and so have no part of this vote formally. When this finds its way into a vote on the Incubator PMC (which I'm on) I will read the proposal and vote on it; assuming it meets the criteria of not being code thrown over the wall, etc. etc. I'll be +1. Good luck folks .. I'll keep an eye on it and look to participate where possible and appropriate. Sanjiva. On Fri, 2006-02-03 at 14:18 -0800, Alan D.
