[eclipse.org-architecture-council] Eclipse and Maven working group

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings fellow Architecture Council members.

I assume that many/most of you have been following Bug 283745 [1]. I
feel that this is a good opportunity for the Architecture Council to
demonstrate leadership.

There has been a lot of ideas presented and quite a bit of
back-and-forth on what we should do. I think we're at a point where the
AC should "grab the reigns" and put together a working group to come up
with best practices, specific recommendations, and a plan for what we
collectively should do for Maven. I really need to know what actions the
Foundation needs to take and what ongoing investment is going to be
required. I believe that the output for this initial exercise would be a
wiki page. I also think that we should add this to the next call's agenda.

I am not knowledgeable enough about Maven myself to convincingly lead
this sort of effort. Can somebody else step up? Ideally, it'd be great
we could get two or three members to take ownership of this.

Thanks,

Wayne
