Re: [m2t-dev] M2T Components

[Paul Elder <pelder@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sven:

The original M2T provisioning request
did request the creation separate components for JET, XPand, MTL as well
as Common and Shared. Somehow, this got only partly implemented (we have
one component - jet). The foundation is happy to correct this without a
lot of paperwork. Either that, or remove all the components, and just have
one committer list.

Some questions to you and the others:

1) Bernd has argued that formally having
multiple components just adds project overhead. Informal components can
still have leads. The only inconvenience is committer elections. I'm happy
to have formal components. Have you convinced Bernd?

2) Right now we have two components
shared/common which are empty. I think it makes sense to combine these
into a single component - core. Can we put Backend into shared/common/core
instead of creating a new component?

Hi Paul and all the others,

we already talked about this at EclipseCon: 
We'ld like to have components for Xpand and the Backend.

We think this would be really helpful. For instance it
would be easier to elect new committers. Also we can easily have separate
mailinglists, newsgroups and bugzilla components. We just have to use the
NPPR form ( http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_provisioning_request.php)
In addition we find that it might be helpful to have leads
for the different components, so it is clear who is responsible for the
architecture and decisions made by the particular team as well as responsible
for keeping metadata, etc. up to date. 
I just created a component for TMF and found that it was
really easy, because I just had to fill out the mentioned form.
Of course we'll have to write an announcement (I ddn't
need to for TMF because everything was already described in the project's
proposal), but as the creation of components has also been mentioned in
the initial M2T proposal this shouldn't be a problem.

What do you think?

atb,
Sven
