Re: [modeling-pmc] [feedback] Restructuring Modeling Sub-Projects

[Sven Efftinge <sven.efftinge@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

it would be nice to get rid of unnecessary umbrella projects and deep structure. 

But as Ed suggested, there are many links spread around that include segments for these umbrella projects. 

So if someone would take the effort to make it a smooth restructuring I am all for it, but if it causes problems for the community and/or is a huge effort, it is probably not worth it.

It's not a big issue in the area I'm working, at least.

Stephanie,

It's an interesting question.

Certainly the currently partial restructuring is confusing.   E.g., what's the difference between these two:

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.emf
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.emf.emf

But there are pages like this still:

  https://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/

Though I'm not sure how you get there from the modeling home page:

  https://www.eclipse.org/modeling/

I'm sure that projects using the EMFT forum will continue to want to use it.  Forum history is an important resource.

Restructuring the modeling project infrastructure further is likely significant work for everyone involved, and I fear it will be hard to get everyone involved who needs to be involved. 

I'm interested in the opinions of others, including not just other PMC leads but also project leads.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi Modeling-PMC,

I would like some feedback as to whether or not restructuring the sub-projects under modeling is worth the time and effort.

Per the Modeling Top-level project restructuring review in 2012, several container projects (MDT, GMT, GMP, etc) were suppose to be eliminated. This transition has not yet been successful, and I would like to know if the PMC thinks it is beneficial to move all of sub-projects under the modeling umbrella or if we should just leave them as is.

Please give me your feedback as soon as possible, it is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Stephanie
