On holidays but responding. I don't recall saying that particular statement about banning contributions. I think it would be great to have other contributors to this. Perhaps when we were talking about the Drupal code I said that it might limit contributors due to the licence? I'm not sure, but sorry I made a statement that sounded that way. /Sent via Notes Traveler on a mobile device
Matthias,
In the early stages of developing the
Orion Store idea, we had in mind many solutions and we wanted to filter
out the quickest one. If the process with the foundation would become to
slow (remember we want something working by EclipseCon in October) we wanted
to have an alternative. We thought, in worst case, we could contribute
the changes from the github repository back to Orion at some point even
after EclipseCon - that's why external contributions couldn't be allowed
(for a smooth IP clearance process I guess). If you want some details on
the manner, Ken Walker can shed some light, since he suggested the contribution
ban. Note this idea was suggested even before the node.js framework was
mentioned.
Nevertheless, I think a separate repository
like org.eclipse.orion.store would be great. I don't know how much time
it takes to process, however it's the goal we wanted anyway. If it finally
happens, I'll contribute some initial node.js code (we should have all
CQ and other legal sign-offs already since we use this technology on the
node.js server side), and anyone should be able to contribute to. Moreover,
any external contribution would be most welcome :)
I hope this explains better what is
going on.
Best regards,
Maciej Bendkowski

Simon,
A separate repository for the store within Orion would be great. I have
no idea how long it would take, but this is definitely something we should
go for. As I recall, Ken had some detailed information on the manner and
it was his initial idea to ban external contributions up until we pull
the code into the Orion source code. Probably I'll be the only contributor
until October. Regardless, I'm in favor of sharing the code as a
separate Orion repository.
I don't get the point why you would want to ban external
contributions ?
Setting up another repository within Orion should be just
the matter of filing
a bug for webmaster to create it.
