Re: [technology-pmc] requesting permission for release review (JWT)
|
Hi Christian.
I've done a quick review of the JWT project. It seems that the project
has done a good job of making it easy for interested parties to get
involved with the project. Specifically, the project's web site [1] is
informative, but concise. Futher, you have provided numerous sources of
information about the project which should make it easy for interested
parties to figure out how to get involved. The project summary page [2]
appears to have all the required information (though the "Project Plan"
links don't provide any actual information).
I am concerned, however, that there seems to be relatively little input
into the project from outside of the project's committers. All but one
of the bugzilla entries against the project appear to come from
committers. The newsgroup [3] has very little activity. There does seem
to be a steady stream of downloads, but given the low volume, it would
be easy to theorize that they are coming from colleagues within your
respective companies.
It does seem that you are doing some of what is required to engage with
the community. You are certainly making it easy for folks to get
involved. However, the community will only get involved if they know
about you and I get the sense that you're not doing enough to raise
awareness of the project. At a minimum, you need to blog about this.
Consider creating a project blog and having it aggregated on Planet
Eclipse and aggregators in the BPM space.
I noticed that you appear to be using the archive server to serve your
downloads from the "All Downloads" page [4]. Can you explain why? It is
more typical to use the download server as you appear to be doing with
the link on your home page.
Can you please fix the broken project plan links on the project summary
page?
I would also like to see some form of plan for more actively engaging
the community and drawing them into the project. What conferences are
you presenting at? Are you blogging about this technology? Are you
planning to submit a talk proposal for ESE, or EclipseCon 2009
(submissions open today)?
Is the JWT project working with the STP project at all? Are there
any/many interactions between the projects? Is STP a potential permanent
home for this project?
Thanks,
Wayne

Hi Technology PMC,
We’d like to request your approval for the 0.5 release of the Java Workflow
Tooling (JWT) project. This release contains many bugfixes and UI additions
which will enhance user experience along with several new extension points
that will allow users to customize the workflow editing process to their own
needs.
Thanks,
Christian (JWT Committer)
