Title: CXF Incubation Status

This page tracks the project status, incubator-wise. For more general project status, look at the project website .

The CXF project graduated on 2008-04-16

CXF is a merging of the Objectweb Celtix project and the Codehaus XFire project. The goal is to combine the best concepts from the two projects and create an enterprise quality framework work for creating services. CXF will allow developers to use a variety of programming models, including JAX-WS, POJO, and Javascript, to develop services. The resulting services will have a pluggable binding and transport mechanism which enables a service to use more than SOAP/HTTP.

Project Setup

This is the first phase on incubation, needed to start the project at Apache. This is currently complete.

Item assignment is shown by the Apache id. Completed tasks are shown by the completion date (YYYY-MM-dd).

Identify the project to be incubated

dateitem
2005-11-30Make sure that the requested project name does not already exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not already trademarked for an existing software product.
N/AIf request from an existing Apache project to adopt an external package, then ask the Apache project for the cvs module and mail address names.
2005-12-07If request from outside Apache to enter an existing Apache project, then post a message to that project for them to decide on acceptance.
N/AIf request from anywhere to become a stand-alone PMC, then assess the fit with the ASF, and create the lists and modules under the incubator address/module names if accepted.

Incubation

These action items have to be checked for during the whole incubation process.

These items are not to be signed as done during incubation, as they may change during incubation. They are to be looked into and described in the status reports and completed in the request for incubation signoff.

Collaborative Development

  • Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and acknowledged as committers on the project? DONE

  • Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as individuals, directly or indirectly.) DONE

  • Are project decisions being made in public by the committers? DONE

  • Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of the committers? DONE

Licensing awareness

  • Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care of and acknowleged by all committers? DONE

Exit
