Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2010 23:57:44 +1100 Message-Id: Cc: dev@continuum.apache.org, dev@archiva.apache.org To: dev@redback.codehaus.org Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v1081) X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.1081) X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org (Apologies for cross-posting - replies are best sent back to = dev@redback, unless it's specific to one of the other projects). After initial attempts to gain external interest, some time has elapsed = and it seems obvious that Redback hasn't been used outside of Continuum = and Archiva. Further, it is unlikely to grow in the way they use it. I'm = not sure it makes sense to remain as a standalone project, and it = appeals to me to have all of the code under Apache. Less lists to = subscribe to and more consolidated activity makes sense to me too. It's also true that moving doesn't buy much immediate benefit other than = consolidation, so maybe it is fine where it is :) If it were to move, as it's unlikely to establish it's own community, I = don't think incubation would make sense. Instead, after clearing the IP, = I would suggest a subproject of either Continuum or Archiva. In terms of = committer overlap, the larger overlap of distinct committers is with = Continuum (Marica and Olivier) vs Archiva (James), with Marica being the = most recently active. Given that, I would think a subproject of Continuum makes sense - but = that we should agree that all Archiva committers should have commit = access to it and a binding vote on any releases. Does anyone feel = strongly it should be the other way around? What do others think? If it's worth doing I will call a formal vote.
