I'm not sure I understand the issue here. Whether Aries becomes its

such apparently intense discussion before the project is even
accepted
We are actually discussing something else. We are discussing the
scope of the proposal, which includes hosting OSGi standard service
implementations, which is part of Felix' scope.
If we are developing standard OSGi services within Apache, then
Felix provides an enthusiastic community to do this and there is no
need to start another incubator project for such a purpose. On the
other hand, stuff like "a set of pluggable Java components enabling
an enterprise OSGi application programming model" makes perfect
sense to be incubated.
Thanks for the clarification... So, your issue is mainly with "It is a
goal of the Aries project to provide a natural home for open source
implementations of current and future OSGi EEG specifications..."?
Personally, I tend to think of Felix in terms of OSGi Core Platform. I
certainly hadn't expected it to be the source for all OSGi standard
implementations from Apache -- not for implementations of Enterprise
Expert Group specs, anyway. I'm sure there are flaws with my
perceptions...
So, we have a group that is interested in working on an enterprise
OSGi application programming model at Apache (including
implementations of at least some EEG specifications). An incubator
project would seem to be an excellent place for this work to start.
Interested Felix community members would certainly be able to join
this effort.
It then becomes a question of, assuming successful incubation, where
does the community graduate to? TLP, Felix subproject(s), or
elsewhere. All successful outcomes, IMO.
