[rt-pmc] incubating projects
|
All,
We are setting up to move the Equinox project to RT. We curently have
an associated set of incubating work in the Eclipse/Eclipse
Incubator/Equinox component. We would like to move that as well. There
are a couple questions. First, we need to get approval from the two
PMCs (origin and destination). So for RT, any objections to moving the
Equinox incubation work along with Equinox itself?
Assuming that is good, next question
Where should we put the Equinox incubator and incubators in general? In
the Eclipse project we have one "Incubator" subproject with components
for platform, equinox, pde, ... The Eclipse project is however much
more coherent than RT. It is not clear to me that having one global RT
Incubator makes sense. The other proposal is ot create an Equinox
Incubator project. This is cleaner but may set a bad precedent (i.e.,
we would end up with every main project and a corresponding incubator).
On reviewing this it turns out that the new development process may
offer some answers. The new process (to be reviewed by the board later
i nthe summer) allows for deep nesting of projects. So in the future we
could have RT/Equinox/Incubator/... rather than RT/Equinox
Incubator/... (note the missing / in the second example).
Concretely then the proposal is to make RT/Equinox Incubator now (by
moving over the current work) and then when the new process kicks in, we
would just do a paper move to get the Equionx incubator under the
equinox project.
I know that this is a lot of process administrivia but we want to start
RT off clean and keep it that way. That means paying attention to these
kinds of details. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
