Re: [modeling-pmc] Wish to take over MXF, Re: MXF Creation Review results
|
I don't imagine what you're planning fits exactly the scope that's
been spelled out.
Actually, we like quite the original scope of MXF.
I'll want to understand what concretely you have that fits this
general scope verses what's specifically focused on OCL.
I will do so.
At the moment, we have good productive discussions with the OCL
project, how to support the stable ECore targeted implementation
without bringing in danger the new more OMG compliant Pivot
implementation. Bringing any new aspects into this project, would be
too much. OCL has lots of challenges ahead.
This divide between the pivot-model-based and the older
more-specifically-targeted implementation concerns me.
We will find a way. I just agreed to meet with Ed Willink on the 24th of
March for a longer session, and I spent a day with Axel Uhl on the 28th
of Dec, and will maybe spend some more time with him in February.
The new Xcore work is also about model execution (for Ecore), to
some extent, but I'd rather keep that as part of the EMF project,
not move it to a cross cutting project.
As described in the original MXF proposal, MXF is about supporting
different ways to make ECore models executable. It is perfectly ok,
that a specific way such as XCore is part of the EMF itself, but
there should be a place for the other ways of making ECore executable.
Those places can be where the execution languages themselves are defined.
I agree. Or in a project using the execution language intensively.
I'm not sure how the other PMC members feel about this. In general
we have a large number of dead project that need cleaning up.
Personally, in the future, I'd rather see more life injected into
projects that are currently alive.
I agree, this is a good way too. Exactly for that reason rather than
sending the mail our right now to the PMC, I will discuss with a few
people from the Architectural Council what makes sense.
They're likely to have zero insight into any of these issues, other
than other members who are also PMC members. In the end, the Modeling
PMC has to agree to host the project.
I am just following up with the hint of Wayne Beaton to have someone of
the Architectural Council as mentor.
As well, I may have the opportunity to create some insight for someone
there, who is interested.
