Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] First pass at EFSP 1.2
Wayne,
Read through your PR, but I wasn't able to comment directly on your diff comparison...
>  - Clarification that all reviews are, by default fourteen (14) days; and must not be less than seven (7) days, see https://github.com/EclipseFdn/EFSP/issues/14.

I find this wording confusing.  Why default to 14 days if we are to allow for a 7 day ballot?  I thought the original requirement of a minimum 7 day ballot was sufficient.  What was the reasoning behind this change?

>  Leading up to a Release, a Specification Team should produce at least one Milestone Build.

Why did we change this from a "must" to "should"?  I don't think we want Release Reviews to happen if no milestone builds haven't happened.  Even MicroProfile requires at least one release candidate (milestone) build before we can declare a final release review...

(this same topic was restated around lines 305-308 and line 309)

Thanks, Kevin

Greetings Specification Committee.

I've made my first pass at updating the EFSP to incorporate the changes that we've discussed (plus one other, I believe).

The changes are described here.

The short version is that the new version:
  • Makes the Progress Review requirement time based. Basically, a project needs to engage in a Review every 12 months. A Progress Review extends a Release Cycle; a Release Review ends it.
  • Specifies that a ballot requires 14 days by default and must not be less than 7 days.
  • Describes a formal exception process.
I'll update the corresponding issues tomorrow. While "putting pen to paper", additional constraints presented themselves...

Your feedback, even just initial observations are welcome.

I will take another pass tomorrow and send you an update.

Thanks,

Wayne
