This proposal seems to have generated a lot of geniune interest, so now
I'm calling for a vote for the Incubator to formally accept it.
A few editorial comments: at this point, I have little doubt that this
codebase will attract a diverse and sustainable community. My concern
is now the reverse: seeing talks of Rome join in and there being talk of
these two merging with Roller... seems both very exciting... as well a
bit premature.
In my mind, the best way to find out what shape the community will take
is to watch it incubate. Therefore, I'd like to explicitly propose that
we neither predetermine nor rule out any possible destination for this.
It could become a TLP. It could merge with Rome and/or other feed
libraries, if they get proposed to the ASF. It could all get subsumed
into Roller. My initial concerns are, respectively, critical mass,
potentially divergent goals, and Umbrella -- each, of course, could be
addressed/mitigated, that's why I am recommendating that we defer this
decision until we have had a chance to observe the community. (Note:
this is not a new idea, I've suggested it on number of occasions before).
With all that said, here's my
+1
I agree that there are numerous issues that will need to be worked out
as time goes on, primarily with regard to project scope, but that can
be worked out in the future. It seems clear that there is enough
interest for us to do SOMETHING in this space, and the details will
depend on the actual community that grows up around this project.
So likewise, +1 from me.
