Hi Scott,
The difference being that Virgo is a project, but the inclusions being
discussed here are for the IWG Package.
That is not a statement of disagreement to your recommendations for
inclusions -- just pointing out the difference so we can focus the
discussion.
I would consider that a distinction without a relevant difference (IWG
packages and projects).
Why? Because
1) projects are the entities that actually produce sw for inclusion in
packages...i.e. IWG doesn't produce any sw for distribution via
packages...they only decide what's included in packages from relevant
projects (in this case...in other cases EPP package contents are decided
in other, arguably even more mysterious ways).
2) projects have to focus in certain areas (runtime, tooling,
etc)...i.e. some things should/must be out of scope (that's only reasonable)
3) cooperation with/dependence on other projects (rather than vertical
project silos) is a good, even necessary thing...for the community and
for the projects
So sure, there's a definitional difference between 'IWG packages' and
'projects'...but WRT these points about sw creation and distribution by
*projects*, it's not a meaningful difference.
