I would like to propose ESME as a project for the Apache Incubator.
Enterprise Social Messaging Experiment (ESME) is a secure and highly
scalable microsharing and micromessaging platform that allows people to
discover and meet one another and get controlled access to other sources of
information, all in a business process context. ESME is written in Scala and
uses the Lift web framework.
I've been looking at Scala and Lift while I was searching ways to apply
Erlang's lightweight process approach to Java. So this is a very cool
proposal and I'm willing to help as a mentor, so that it can finally force
me to get my hands dirty on Scala!
However, this proposal could be made way more interesting and potentially
disrupting if it were to include the Lift framework itself, and also
consider not only enterprise micro-blogging, but also open federated
microblogging [1] that was initiated by Identi.ca [2].
Speaking for Lift (I'm the BDFL of Lift), I'm very very happy with how we've
been hosting Lift. I don't see a compelling reason to move Lift to the
Apache foundation.
It's not just about hosting, but about getting more exposure to grow a
larger community, which could be beneficial not only for Lift, but also
more generally for Scala.
ESME will support a variety of standard-ish APIs including Twitter's APIs,
open federated micro blogging APIs, etc. It will also have a set of secure
federation APIs.
Sounds good!
