| <div class="source"><code>- Status report for the Incubator - Overall the xmlbeans project is |
| progressing with good committer productivity and a growing user |
| community. Converting over the Apache CVS systems and build process |
| has been accomplished along with various other Apache administrative |
| tasks such as setting up the Apache website. There is some movement |
| towards growth in the development side of the community with one |
| contributor (Dutta Satadip) submitting a nice enhancement and several |
| other contributors submitting small patches related to bugs. More on |
| each of the bullet points below. * is the STATUS file up to date? |
| (also post link) <Cliff Schmidt> We need to update the status file |
| with the latest incubator guidelines. We're mostly there, but there |
| are a couple things that need to be added. I also think the status |
| file needs to be updated in one or two other ways. For instance, the |
| tasks completed should now include: - build xmlbeans website - grant |
| some committers access to xml-site (Cliff and Remy) </Cliff Schmidt> |
| http://incubator.apache.org/projects/xmlbeans.html * any legal, |
| cross-project or personal issues that still need to be addressed? In |
| general it appears xmlbeans is through most of the known issues that |
| existed getting started. The committers have been able to be |
| productive and there is a lot of code being created in version 2 and |
| fixes are being made into version 1. One issue that we have run into |
| is how best to accommodate commonly used api jars primarily (but not |
| exclusively) JCP related api's from SUN. We are not sure the |
| appropriate process to determine whether we can use a particular jar |
| and host the jar in the xmlbeans build. examples of api's that we are |
| unsure the appropriate/best way to deal with are: * JSR173 api and |
| JSR 173 RI (Streaming API for XML, a.k.a., STAX) - the JSR173 RI |
| dependency is temporary. Currently xmlbeans downloads it from |
| external server during the build process * SAAJ api - we used the |
| saaj-api source code in axis. * xml commons resolver (Apache jakarta) |
| * jaxen (jaxen.sourceforge.net - apache-style license, but not |
| apache) Here are some specific questions on this subject that David |
| Bau posted: <David Bau> - We currently load resolver.jar and |
| jaxen.jar if the user happens to put them on the classpath, and throw |
| a runtime exception if the user tries to use a resolver- or jaxen- |
| dependent feature without those JARs present. This is OK, but it |
| would be nicer for users if resolver and jaxen were just included in |
| xbean.jar, but this presents both licensing issues (for jaxen) and |
| possible-version-conflict issues (for commons resolver). A question |
| is: is there a nice way we include resolver.jar and jaxen.jar inside |
| xbean.jar, or should we stay away from that idea? - We need the JSR |
| 173 API to run, and this is definitely something that we want to be |
| able to distribute either directly inside xbean.jar, or at least |
| directly inside Apache since it's so core. In other words, we can't |
| expect users to do anything without this API present. I've noticed |
| that for other APIs, such as SAAJ, Apache seems to have a "clean |
| room" copy of the APIs. Should we be making such a copy of the JSR |
| 173 APIs? What is the right way to do this? </David Bau> * what has |
| been done for incubation since the last report? <David Bau> The main |
| thing is that we've been working on the project. We're getting more |
| folks hanging around on the lists; we're getting some of the code |
| that we've talked about on the lists and on the wiki actually written |
| and checked in. We've been encouraging the wider community to |
| critique and contribute ideas and code. Community-building is a |
| gradual process; we don't have a mature community yet, but we've |
| certainly gotten started at building a little one. </David Bau> * |
| source code checkin (was that since last status report?) * build and |
| test ant scripts established * website updated including docs, source |
| code access, etc. * established version 2 effort and modified CVS |
| tree accordingly * proposed (close to implementing I think) branching |
| strategy for version 1 (by Kevin Krouse) * gump integration (thanks |
| to Robert Burrell Donkin) * plans and expectations for the next |
| period? * development on v2 will continue incorporating community |
| feedback. * continued work on soliciting volunteers for contribution |
| and committership. * work on organizing bug tracking and follow up * |
| xmlbeans-1.01 distribution (minor bug fixes to v1) * improve process |
| of bug testing and fixing from BugZilla contributions. * any |
| recommendations for how incubation could run more smoothly for you? |
| Incubation seems to be going well with one, albeit an important one, |
| challenge of getting outside committers. Having a large existing |
| codebase in a fairly complicated area makes it challenging. The |
| growing user community and the excellent posts that we are getting on |
| the xmbleans-dev list make us optimistic we will make some |
| breakthroughs in the next period. * things that xmlbeans could/will |
| improve on (summary, contributed by Cliff Schmidt) 1. Bug management: |
| http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?product=XMLBeans (as |
| has already been mentioned by one or two others) -- This is just as |
| much related to community as code. Of the 12 bugs entered so far, we |
| haven't done a very good job of keeping them updated with status. We |
| should encourage people to file bugs by showing that the committers |
| are actually responding to them (even if the response is "need more |
| info to repro" or simply noting the priority). 2. Web site: |
| http://xml.apache.org/xmlbeans/ -- We got this built and running but |
| we need to keep it updated. For instance, it still shows the |
| ApacheCon advertisement. 3. Binary download. -- We started to get |
| this done, but I don't think we ever finished. Actually, I'd like to |
| try to get this done in the next couple days. 4. PPMC -- The |
| incubator introduced the idea of a PPMC and we haven't responded to |
| this yet. I'll follow up in a separate post on what needs to be done. |
| 5. Status file -- We need to update the status file with the latest |
| incubator guidelines. We're mostly there, but there are a couple |
| things that need to be added. I also think the status file needs to |
| be updated in one or two other ways. For instance, the tasks |
| completed should now include: - build xmlbeans website - grant some |
| committers access to xml-site (although I forgot who has this; I |
| think it is me and Remy) 6. Committer keys Bau and I were both able |
| to make it to ApacheCon and we both participated in the key-signing |
| party. We need to get other committers to make keys and get them |
| signed by me and Bau whenever we run into each other in person again. |
| 7. New Committers The biggest issue of all is definitely the new |
| committers, as everyone seems to agree. We really need to find more |
| ways to encourage others to contribute. I think we are all ready and |
| willing to share some of the responsibility; we just need to find |
| people who are showing enough interest (and action) to be considered |
| for committership. |
