[bpel-dev] Re: BPEL project status
|
Greetings BPEL folks.
I realize that this is the season of vacations and all... but somebody
must be out there to respond. Anyone?

Hey BPEL folks. I've been looking at your project and wanted to make a
few observations.
The project website needs to have an "about this project" link [1]
that points to the project summary.
The project data (in the portal) appears to have listed the project's
home page as the "descriptionurl". This field should contain a pointer
to an HTML file containing just a paragraph that describes the project.
Development appears to be slowing down (only five commits in May).
The listed releases are all two years old. Is it time for a new "next
release"?
A project plan in the standard format has not been provided. The only
plan that I can find [2] is three years old. You really should have an
up-to-date plan if you want to attract additional input from the
community.
The BPEL project has no architecture council mentors. I believe that
it predates the requirement for them. However, I think that you might
benefit from getting some involvement from the architecture council.
Please consider opening a bug against Community/Architecture Council
requesting assistance.
I am concerned that the project is stalled. It appears as though
Redhat wants to get involved [3], but that the project is not
responding to the requests.
Can somebody please address the issues discussed and provide the PMC
with a short status update on the project?
Thanks,
Wayne
