I am keeping notes on my experience
starting Faceted Project Framework project. Once the project is up and running
(produces builds for people to download), I will publish my notes along with
recommendations for what we can improve to make the process easier for small
scale projects. Maybe I will start a wiki or something…

Restructuring Nebula Project
a) Every *single* widget is transformed into a
subproject. So it can
follow its own release cycle, incubation state, committer election,
I also +1 - I think it makes the most sense. It allows
each widget to have a separate group of committers.
b) For
widgets like our nebula ones the subproject process is too heavy
weight IMHO (at least for the existing ones).
As the maintaining-author
of the official Eclipse Development Process, I always cringe when someone says
this and I'd love to understand exactly what it is that people find too heavy.
Seriously, I would. Not just a wave of the hand "it's too heavy", but
a "having to write a proposal is too heavy", or "having to fill
out the project provisioning online form is too heavy", or even "I
think it's too heavy because there isn't a flowchart and checklist of steps I
need to follow"... I think the Eclipse process is now lighter weight
(fewer hurdles, fewer forms, and faster) than, e.g., the Apache process and I
don't hear people saying the Apache process is too heavy so I must be missing
something...
Konstantin, if you could keep me in the loop on your conversations here, I'd
really *really* like to learn what the issues are so that I can solve them.
