Too bad...there are no overlords here ;-) Some of us are speaking as members of the Incubator PMC, having seen a few podlings succeed or fail, and trying to ensure success of at least one (or maybe two if that's needed) CMIS podlings. But in the end it's a decision of the whole Incubator PMC, which I imagine is heavily influenced by having a champion and a few mentors take care of the podling. In my case, the lukewarm welcome to OpenCMIS is mostly due to the fact that nothing was discussed with Chemistry before making the proposal. To me that feels like doing things behind the Chemistry team's back, which I don't like. Hopefully that's being sorted out with the current discussions. > ...I still think that at least there should be common code (ex: constants, as > suggested by Jukka) and I hope that this will the case, in any case.... Sure - that's also possible by sharing code, for example by giving write access to both Chemistry and OpemCMIS committers to some part of each other's code repository. I'd much prefer having a single project, as I said before, but two projects that collaborate on common parts (like a test suite I imagine) can work as well. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
