RE: [corona-dev] The Orbit project.

It's quite possible that this would be a good location for a muse client
distribution, as we would hope for a relatively broad adoption within
Eclipse.

Subject: RE: [corona-dev] The Orbit project.
Marcin,
The Orbit project won't simplify the IP approval process, but it will
make it easier to reuse non-Eclipse components by providing a repository
of third party components that have already been customized for use
within an Eclipse environment. The project goals are to reduce
duplication of repackaging effort and to decrease the number of
duplicate copies of components like Apache Commons Logging that are
included in a user's Eclipse environment whenever it includes many
Eclipse projects. Prior to this project, there was constant pressure to
push components into the Platform Project that doesn't really belong
there because it was the only place for projects to share components.
More relevant to speeding up the IP approval process is an initiative by
the Eclipse IP team to avoid duplicate due diligence reviews of the IP
within widely used components. Each project will still need to request
approval for each non-Eclipse open source component so the Eclipse
management organization can be aware of the risks and dependencies, but
the approval to reuse code that is cleared for general use should be a
quick formality instead of a multi-month wait for a code review.
Regards,
Don Ebright
