Greetings PMC.
We have a situtation.
The XWT project team has apparently stopped participating
in the simultaneous release process. According to the EDP,
the XWT project must engage in a release review before the
version 1.2 bits can be released. If they do not engage in
this review, then we have to remove them from the
simultaneous release. Unfortunately, at least two other
projects in the simultaneous release depend on XWT, so
removing it will be at least a little bit painful. I'm
assuming that these dependent projects have done sufficient
testing of their features that depend on XWT.
Theoretically, if we remove them from the release, the
projects that use XWT can revert to an earlier version.
That's one option to consider. Perhaps those projects may be
able to extract themselves from XWT.
Another option is for us to declare the project
dysfunctional, retire the current project lead and team, and
then push it through the process ourselves. Then, following
the release, we first look for another team to take over the
project or take steps to terminate and archive the project.
I've sent a note to the dev-list and personal note to the
project lead in a last-ditch effort to get a response. If we
don't hear back before Monday, we'll have to make a
decision.
