Re: Fwd: FW: [photran-dev] Moving Photran from Technology to be a component of PTP
|
Hello all,
* the project lead never answers any of my emails
Given Ralph's reply, I'll assume you (Bjorn) are talking about
discussions on one of the mailing lists project leads are expected to
monitor.
3. either utilize or delete the photran-dev mailing list (I see that
you use photran@ instead of/in addition to? photran-dev@)
photran@ is the list for user questions/discussions, photran-dev@ is for
Photran developers. The volume of mail on photran-dev is directly
proportional to the number of active committers on the project (1), so
this is really a manifestation of another problem.
My understanding from Bjorn is:
1. Photran will move to PTP on July 16 unless we explicitly act otherwise;
2. the problems with the Photran project are chronic failures to (1)
comply with the Eclipse development process, (2) build a developer
community, and (3) show progress toward becoming an active and viable
open-source project; and
3. moving to being a component of PTP will solve these problems by (1)
placing Photran under the auspices of a compliant project (2) with a
larger group of developers (3) targeting a similar group of users.
For the record, my understanding from Greg is, if Photran were a
component of PTP,
1. Greg would take over the project lead's responsibilities: release
planning, coordinating monthly conference calls, ensuring process
compliance, scheduling reviews, etc.;
2. UIUC would maintain control over the design and technical direction
of Photran until a larger community of active Photran developers is
formed; and
3. Photran-related discussions would move to the respective PTP mailing
lists, and Photran's Web site and CVS repositories would move under PTP's.
