Thanks David. I have/had two concerns:
(1) Whether this was a "project" or a "component". There are many ways
to make this decisions, so the currently best guideline is "does it
release separately?" yes = project, no = component. Components do not
need creation reviews.
(2) "Significant new efforts" need to be announced to the Eclipse
membership in some way. Reviews (such as Creation Reviews) are a good
way to do this for new projects - new projects being, by definition,
significant new efforts. We don't have a good mechanism for this kind
of announcement (yet) for significant new components, but the Board has
made it clear that it's necessary. Perhaps something in your project
plan? (P.S. discussing on the dev and pmc lists are not considered
announcements.)
So if you all (PMC) are confident that it's a component, if you could
just make the significant new effort public, that would be fine.
> ... have been discussing
with the ATF project was them contributing their _javascript_ work to
the
_javascript_ component of WST. Turns out this is no simple "addition",
but a huge effort that deserved "new contribution" effort of
having their own team lead, committers, etc. ... simply "business as
usual"
for WST, since _javascript_ is within our scope.
> Bjorn, does this adequately
account
for your concerns? Or are you saying that even as a component under WTP
it should have a creation review?
