Langauge agnostic
I am a huge supporter of a language-agnonstic commons, but has any
thought been put into how to organize commons WRT language (mailing
lists, cvs, etc)?
Thanks,
Scott Sanders

How would the core infrastructure requirements be different?
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see why commons should be
care about language at all - that's a matter for the person writing
the code. -- justin

if they use absolute paths, that shold be changed. they should be able
to work with .-relative paths. and i think one website, because this is
one project. different pages for different components, but not completely
new sites; everything under commons.apache.org. we're going to need to
be watchful to make sure things don't get lost, and we're going to need
to *remember* to do so.

yes. we'll burn that bridge when we come to it, rather than engineering a
solution to a problem that doesn't yet exist. (mho)

Anything else other than the one cvs module and ML? I guess one website?
Except that won't work as some parts will build their website
automatically from Maven.
Bearing in mind how spammy Jakarta Commons can get for people, do you
really want to be listening to the noisy rebol project that I propose next
month?
CVS module... Might cause some issues. Unsure if all build tools are happy
with such things. They should be.

+1 on one piece of infrastructure for all of commons (one ML,
CVS module, etc...)

my current thinking is for a single [set of] mailing list[s]
for all of apache commons, and cvs modules (i.e., subdirectories)
for each component. that should help promote awareness, and
if someone has a question, there's one place to ask. we may
have to figure out ways of tagging messages so people can
filter them, though.
