| [phoenix-dev] Packages Page Source Follow-Up |
(In reply to bug 224729 comment #118 and #119) > [...] Some of the Foundation's system are open > source projects (e.g., Babel, the commits explorer dashboard, and the new> EclipseCon submission system) and some are not (CVS server, Bugzilla server,
> EPIC, etc).Bjorn and Nathan, I appreciate your feedback. But you are mixing up different shoes here. CVS source code is available as well as the source of Bugzilla, Drupal, Mediawiki and the Planet Eclipse feed parser (including our additions to it).
I'm not asking for publishing actual server configuration settings or system internals which would result into security issues. I'm also not asking for publishing budgets, contracts, employee paychecks and other sensitive data (btw, there is no point in submitting a patch here).
I'm talking about the real source that is building the site. In the case of this bug I'm talking about the PHP (or XML or whatever it is) that is generating the site to allow others to contribute patches (eg., for fixing the sorting bug).
BTW, I also don't understand why the EPIC source is also not public available. From my understanding it has been contributed back in 2006 including a set of initial committers to move the code over to Phoenix (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/phoenix-dev/msg00392.html).
I'm not asking you to go through all the administration overhead and setup an Eclipse project (well, we already have Phoenix) or go through the IP process. (Note, I've heard rumors that this was used as an argument before.) There are alternatives (like Google Code or SourceForge).
We can't pray water but drink wine. Am I the only one thinking this way? -Gunnar -- Gunnar Wagenknecht gunnar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://wagenknecht.org/
