Re: [dali-dev] Questions regarding WTP project merge
|
Markus,
I'll answer these questions based on my current understanding of how
this will work. Arthur may be able to further clarify on a couple of these.
- Is Dali to become a subproject of WTP with its own project lead?
Dali will become either a subproject of the WTP with its own lead OR a
component under the JST with a component lead. The WTP PMC, with input
from us, will probably decide what makes the most sense.
- What does this step mean for the code? Will it result in more code
dependencies and requirements (for example will it be possible to use
Dali outside of a container context. Afaik WTP relies on a container all
the time)?
This move will not change our core requirements. We will still provide
support for outside the container contexts. It should not increase our
dependencies, as we already are and plan to be dependent on a number of
WTP components and frameworks. Many of the WTP components do not rely
on container specific functionality. The XML component would be a good
example of something that could be used in any environment.
- Will it still be possible to run Dali as a standalone application?
Yes, it would still be possible to run Dali as a standalone application
(WTP components would be a packaged pre-req)
- Is our project road map (task priorities/features/...) going to change?
No, not specifically related to the move. As our exposure to the
Eclipse community grows, different inputs may result in these types of
changes, but this is an expected part of the iterative nature of the
project.
