Dear Mickael
> Otherwise, are you already began the work? If not,
when is it planned?
As mentioned they work full time, and this is the reason
for the silence.
It would be very convenient for
the GMF community to let them spend some time to be more verbose
about the work in progress. If you have a roadmap, please share
it with us. A lot of people have good ideas about GMF,
The plan is to let the roadmap grow through bugzillas, as it is
the official process.
At the moment we are not short in good ideas, we even just
finalize the initial design, largely influence by people like
Artem.
As mentioned, the main problem right now is that the graph domain
model to code model (genmodel) is not configurable, and thus lots
of people created workarounds with additional frameworks or better
templating. We now plan to finish the implementation of the
initial design.
Did you submit ideas in Bugzillas, that have not been considered?
> and I'd like some more people
to become contributors & committers on GMF Tooling.
So does everyone. We look for people who work on the project full
time, have a stable sponsorship, and are ready to work with the
team on a daily basis.
Anyone out there?
Honestly a jump from 0 FTE to 3 FTE seems to be more than enough
for the moment.
Transparency is necessary.
The less silent you are, the healthier the /your project is ;)
I do not think that 3 FTEs working full time on GMF Tooling will be
silent, you will at least be able to hear the daily commits,
postings to the newsgroup, e.t.c. Especially since these are three
senior people, having lots of experience.
Our sponsor has 40 people working on the subject, on 50 DSLs in
parallel, not only GMF Tooling based but as well XText2 based. Thus
they are just interested in the progress of the framework, its
stability, and the productivity of the team of 3 FTE working on the
framework. They did not ask to work on anything non-open-source or
deviating from the traditional GMF Tooling roadmap.
Everything is very long term and strategic.
Regards, Philipp
