Jakarta: 2005+
January 3rd, 2005 by HenSo the previous entry, while intended to be a review of 2004 and look to the future in 2005 was heavy on the 2004 and light on the 2005.
Here are my plans for 2005:
Much cleaner site. Much of the content currently on Jakarta would migrate elsewhere, or at least have the links removed. Discussions on general@jakarta.apache.org and http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta/SiteInfo.
SVN. Nudge everyone in Jakarta to Subversion, hassle and nudge etc. Regexp should be into SVN very soon; next target is probably BCEL or ECS.
Licencing. Keep hassling on licencing issues and hopefully get results.
Commons Lang 2.1. Nothing to do with being chair, just something I want to get released
Encourage TLP moves. Slide and Lucene are likely to goto TLP; however Turbine->JCS and Commons->HttpClient are moving to subproject level in Jakarta. Score-draw for my workload.
Figure out how to handle closed projects (Alexandria, Watchdog) and sleepy projects (BCEL, BSF, ECS, ORO, Regexp).
That’s enough for the first 3 months anyway.
