Re: [orion-dev] Eclipse Market & Orion

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the key point was holding off on
accepting external contributions until the initial contribution is made
to eclipse.org. Otherwise we need to go through a provenance exercise to
accept the initial contribution at Eclipse. I will work with Maciek to
get a repository setup and the initial contribution made this week, so
we can welcome all contributions as with any Eclipse project.

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.

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.
