Agreed.

I propose we have a new "avalon" CVS repository where to develop the new 
Avalon5 system. Things will be discussed and committed only when decided 
upon, and still eventually changed when again decided upon.

This will make us do a clear cut with previous development methods, and 
clearly indicate that it's a new effort and that the old will be 
nevertheless maintained.

+1 for a new "avalon" CVS repository

Alternatively it can be called avalon5, avalonV, aValon, avalon-5, 
avalon-ng... the important thing is that it's there.

"avalon" is what I think it should be (as distinct from our heritage 
under jakarta-avalon)

I understand your point, and it's sensible and has good reasoning.

But IMHO we can also use the new avalon CVS instead of the sandbox dir 
*exactly* with the same purpose, and have the history already there and 
start from the initial commits. To make it clear we can put a WARNING 
file in the main dir and in the docs there. Using the sandbox can also 
confuse, since material in there can be or can also not be put in the 
main repo, while here we are effectively creating the new repo. Tomcat 5 
development is done in the new repo, not in a sandbox or the new one.

Just IMHO that is.

I'm amendable on an "avalon" cvs containing next-generation material,
but we don't have any next-generation material yet. I think that the
next-gen stuff could/should be developed in avalon-sandbox cvs as it
makes quite clear what the status of that material is.

When we are ready to start a beta cycle of some kind on sandbox material
a new cvs might be a good idea. Until then, I think it is confusing to
have this repo, especially as it will/should be empty.

Hence I vote -1 for creating it right now.

I'll not put this vote in the STATUS file then myself, and wait till we 
find more agreement on it. When you feel it's time to place your vote, 
post it or commit it.

I think the deadlock (and the few votes) is reason enough to just hit 
the "pause" button on this voting for say, two-three days, and then 
try again. Let's have a go at the charter first, and then re-visit 
this one.

Does that sound sensible?

I am +1 for the new CVS (I think we should have an avalon CVS instead of
a
jakarta-avalon anyway), and I think that this new unified effort should
have a CVS of its own (no need to have "proposal" directories and stuff
like that + it doesn't make the new effort a sub-project of some
existing module). OTOH, I am reflexively against creating "new
playgrounds",
maybe irrationally so. But the fact that this vote ran into a deadlock 
makes me not want to tip the balance.

Despite a feeling by some that a decision has been taken on this, 
current votes stand in a tie like this:

     o Creation of an "avalon" CVS repository for new Avalon5
       codebase
       +1: nicolaken, mcconnell
       +0: cziegeler
       -0: proyal
       -1: leosimons, leif


Anyone else wants to say his?

"avalon" is what I think it should be (as distinct from our heritage 
under jakarta-avalon)

I'm -0 on this.. what's wrong with the sandbox?

I do like Peter D's idea of having multiple proposal directories. Yes, 
there will be one final solution chosen, but I don't think that should 
preclude having multiple trees and approaches to view and hack on 
during that decision making process. That way radical ideas can have a 
place to be demonstrated to the community before the community adopting 
them.

Such users generally don't care about CVS repositories at all.  They care
about mailing lists, web sites, and release packages.

Creating a new repository has the effect that people will think
that it is something new (and incompatible) whether it is or not.
So, I'm +1 for a separate directory within our repository.
