Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] [External] : Re: Shouldn't Creation Review include an initial plan?
|
Right, I thought the conclusion was to include a plan with the
creation review.
If we want to allow the team time to assemble and organized,
maybe we set some kind of "initial get organized" timeframe --
maybe 3 or 6 months for the first plan review (then every 12 mos
for progress reviews)? I'd initially tried to avoid changing the
process, but it may be we need some kind of change.
Seems like we either need to adjust the description of the
creation review to require a plan, or we need to adjust the
diagram to insert an organizing state between the Creation Review
and the Development state.
If we were to agree that this change was beneficial, we would
then want to decide if this is something we inject via the JESP,
or if we wanted to try to make this change in the EFSP. Probably
the JESP is easier for us to change.

originally did, but eliminated the plan review as redundant.
The main question comes down to when do we want the plans to
be made and who do we want to be involved and have influence in
that. Do we want the plans to be made by one or two people,
before everyone is gathered at the table as a community. Or do
we want the plans to be made once it's a full spec project and
all participants are can decide together.
I'd vote the second one provides the people who join more
influence.

Committee members:
In the past, I think we have had some challenges with
new specification project proposals when they didn't
include planning details. I think we are repeating
that cycle with the creation review for the Jakarta
Query project.
If you recall, the EFSP process lifecycle
is ambiguous on this point but some have pushed the
idea that the creation review ought to have some
content that identifies goals, milestones, or
aspirations. Otherwise, they're going into the
development phase with no stated milestones, and we
with no clear understanding when a specification
version might come into existence.
We are being asked to vote on creating this
specification project. The best detail we have
describing it is written on the project proposal page.
This is a good overview, but all it says, with respect
to a schedule is that work will begin this year.
But, there isn't much, if anything that suggests what
kinds of milestone targets this specification might be
attempting to achieve. Should a draft be expected for
a milestone this calendar year? In time for EE 12?
Should the working group be working to generate some
resourcing for it? If nothing else, I think the review
should state what the first milestone might be and,
what, if anything might happen after that.
I certainly want to encourage new specifications --
but my recollection is, when we approve creation
reviews, without knowing what the plan is -- when it
might be completed -- in this case, when or if we
might anticipate migrating and aligning requirements
from one specification to another (in the case of
Jakarta Query, I think the goal is to migrate
requirements from Jakarta Data and Jakarta Persistence
-- but, when might that migration take place and when
should the impacted specifications be anticipating
these changes isn't even hinted at.
So ... should a creation review include a plan and/or
milestone objectives? (I think it should.)
If it should, I think the Jakarta Query proposal team
should be asked to establish, at the least,
preliminary goals so we can anticipate how this
evolution might take place.
What do others think?
