Hi Andreas, Damn, you’ve got long vacations ;) For the committer agreement, can you ask the emo team (emo@xxxxxxxxxxx) how to proceed with the
issue, that you want to register as individual committer, I’m pretty sure
that this is possible, but I don’t know the details. Although you don’t
have so much time for working on the project I’d prefer you as a
committer, not a contributor. As a contributor you also have to do the whole
paperwork (the agreements) but you don’t have any write-access to the repository,
that means you have to attach patches to a bug, which is not very comfortable,
IMHO. Everything becomes easier if you’re a committer, and it is not
relevant (at least for me) how much time you work on different issues. For the architecture. You’re observation is correct, I’ve
splitted the sources: -
The framework to build
applications for information units -
A collection of information
units and connectors The reason for that is an organizational one: The information
units and connectors tend to use a lot of third-party-bundles which can change
very often (especially for connectors) – e.g. the twitter api changes
every 2 month. If we host this connectors at eclipse.org referencing or
updating a third-party-bundle requires the whole review-process of the Eclipse
IP Team. Additionally these bundles are typically not made to be consumed as
base for another application. Another thing is that we don’t get the
icons approved, but I love these icons and think they’re very important
for a good user-acceptance (there are not good free icons available). I think
this separation is also good to separate the user-base. The eclipse.org code is
used for other developers which want to build applications based on that
framework, The other sources, hosted at sourceforge are for the non-techis
which want to use the built product. My hope is to attract developers inside
the Eclipse community to get the underlying components (like the
synchronization) more stable. I’ve updated all information types and connectors at
sourceforge; they are all referencing now the org.eclipse.remus bundles, so you
can already test and If you find bugs (I remember that you had issues with the
synchronization) you can open a bug at bugs.eclipse.org and attach a patch. Cheerz Tom PS: I’ve posted this message at the remus-dev mailing
list. I’d suggest, that you register at this list (https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/remus-dev)
and use this as primary communication channel to keep the communication
transparent. Von: Andreas Deinlein
