Re: [ecf-dev] authentication and file transfer API

Scott, 

I did not mean to imply you were not
just that the bridge must be crossed at some point.

I also totally agree and understand
the issues.  Equinox has a significant incubation element that has
experienced many multi-month delays waiting for IP issues.  I don't
see it as a big/corporate vs. small/independent issue.  Its more the
projects that are exploring new areas and touching lots of new/external
technologies.  TPTP for example currently has more than double the
outstanding CQs than all of the Technology projects combined.

In any event, as you know, the Foundation
is currently taking a number of different steps to address the situation
and the backlog is dropping.   We'll have to wait and see how this
evolves.

Hi Jeff/Remy,

As the one who has been 'walking the IP walk' for ECF for nearly two years
now I can tell you we're doing what's required.

Unfortunately, in my view this has been at significant cost to ECF's speed
of progress.  The 'heavyweightness' of the IP process hampers small
projects much more than large/corp supported ones...and as you know it
hampers the large ones to a significant degree.

Absolutely.  Nothing has changed in the process.  ANY project
wanting to use ANY third party lib/code MUST file a CQ with the foundation.
 In the event that that lib/version has already been approved for
use in another project AND that approval was scoped for "all",
this is pretty much of a rubber stamp (but needed nonetheless).  You
iwll not pass a release review without having walked the walk.

Hi everyone,

Well, ECF still needs to go through legal, though, no? I mean, after
ip process + sent out into Orbit. So claims the Orbit FAQ [1].
