Re: [orbit-dev] Ready for code?

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, Orbit is ready and some people
have started putting things there.  See (and update) 
        http://eclipse.org/orbit/
In particular, there is a wiki link
on the right.  The wiki includes informormation related to structuring,
naming, versioning, ...

We have started using a particular approach
that seems to work for the libs encountered so far.  Clearly this
is going to evolve over time.  Lets discuss the issues in orbit-dev
and then capture them in the wiki or website.

As for origins, yes traceability in
this space is good.  The orbit contributions don't necessarily come
from projects but from Orbit contirbutors/committers.  This information
is captured by CVS when the code is committed.  The project usage
information should be captured already by the IP process (IPzilla etc).
 That will cover the initial contribution questionaire for any lib
as welll as subsequent requests to use ti.  Perhaps we can point to
or otherwise leverage that information rather than having to maintain a
duplicate?

Subject	[orbit-dev] Ready for code?

I'll probably start moving some of our WTP 3rd party content to orbit soon,
over next 6 weeks or so,  ... and have a few suggestions or questions.

How do we, as orbit, track where the 3rd party content comes from ... that
is, where from within Eclipse ... since all content must have 
had some IP process for some other Eclipse project(s) then seems it'd be
best to have a central Orbit document that lists where 
stuff comes from ... just in case anyone wants to check up on us :) 

For example, we in WTP have an IP Log (does each project?) 
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/development/ip_log.html

I'd suggest we have an Orbit trace-back log which simply "points to"
the original Eclipse Project's IP Log from which the item originally came.
