Hi Stefane, I'm not sure I get your point. If OpenCMIS would become a top level subproject within Chemistry (which is what Florent suggested) then those two topics would still remain. It would be even worse: Chemistry would then have two client APIs which would be really confusing.
The only way to overcome this is to merge the OpenCMIS code into the Chemistry code base. But the technical approaches of the projects are so different that this might not work - at least not in the short term. Or is your message that you don't want OpenCMIS code at all on Apache?

Internally: duplication of effort, instead of focussing on providing the best possible API. 2. Externally: blurred message, two different API / models to learn. S.
