Re: [gef-dev] Fabian Steeg to help lead Zest

Hi all,

what about the option to deliver Zest 1.x together with GEF 3.7 for Indigo and to come up with a Zest 2.0 & Draw2d/GEF 4.0 combination in 2012? I think there are a couple of things in Draw2d/GEF that could be cleaned up as well, and doing so would give us the chance to better align the three components with each other (I haven't taken a look into Zest 2.0 yet, but Zest 1.x e.g. had to "fork" XYScaledGraphics, which could be merged back into ScaledGraphics; I suppose there are similar places in Zest 2.0). What do you think?

Cheers
Alexander

I will look at those...

Just to be clear, we don't need to break existing users... we can ship Zest 2.0 and Zest 1.x... we can also not put Zest 2.0 in the indigo repo.  

But I will review the plan.

cheers,
ian

That is good Ian, there is no official process as there is no such hierarchy. We are all GEF project committers and GEF is comprised of the Draw2d, GEF and Zest components. If you wish to share the leadership of the Zest component, that is fine (there are only two Zest committers :-)).

A reminder of our project plan at http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=tools.gef . Since we are bent on a major version change to Zest breaking all existing Zest users, concrete plans would be useful.

Cheers...
Anthony

I would like to nominate Fabian Steeg as co-lead for the Zest component in the GEF project.  While this is more symbolic than anything else (I'm not sure there is a formal 'lead' for component in the Eclipse Development Process).  Fabian is doing a majority of the work on Zest these days and he is showing great judgment.  Fabian has an excellent understanding of Zest and has been working on the transition to Zest 2.0.  Having Fabian help lead Zest will make it a much better component!

I don't think there is an official process for this, but I assume that Anthony (GEF lead) and I both need to give a +1.  (This e-mail is of course my +1).

cheers,
ian
