[stp-pmc] PROPOSAL: SOA Tools Platform Incubator Sub-Project 


All - see below draft proposal for new STP sub-project. Please
comment - do you think that the mechanics will work?  Also - the
proposed committers have yet to be worked out in detail, there is
legal paperwork to be done by some parties.

Introduction

The SOA Tools Platform Incubator Sub-Project is a proposed sub-project
under the SOA Tools Platform Project [0]. This proposal is in the
Pre-Proposal Phase as described at [1] and is written to declare the
SOA Tools Platform Incubator's intent and scope. You are invited to
comment on this proposal.

Background

The SOA Tools Platform Project has been favored with a number of offers
of code contributions from various organizations. Some of these offerings are focussed within similar technology areas, for example JBI infrastructure deployment and graphical SCA assembly modeling. Establish practice in Open Source projects suggests that a melding of different approaches to a similar goal, performed in public in an open manner, leads to better and more well- 
understood solutions.

Technology contributions from a single source that do not have any clear
connection to existing STP sub-projects are also suitable candidates for
incorporation into the Incubator Sub-project.

Description and Organization

The SOA Tools Platform Incubator Sub-roject will serve the need for the
open development of similar technology elements that have been contributed by different organizations. The sub-project will be composed of components that are technology specific. Development in each component will be co-led 
by one individual from each contributing organization. Components will
manage their own schedules and releases from the incubator until such time 
as they are approved by the STP PMC for consolidation within an official
STP sub-project outside the Incubator Sub-project. The goal of each component is to graduate from the incubator in a timely fashion. All proposed Incubator 
Sub-project componants must be approved by the PMC before they can be
initiated.

Proposed Components

 *  SCA Graphical Modeler
 *  JBI Infrastructure Creation and Deployment
 *  Integration Patterns Graphical Modeler

Proposed Initial Committers

 * Obeo
 * Bull
 * SAP
 * Engineering
 * IONA
 * SOPERA
