[sanselan] Next steps

We have voted to accept sanselan as a commons component [1].  Welcome!

We now need to settle the administrative questions raised in [2]:

2. Most commons components have a "functional" name instead of a "fun" 
name. Would Sanselan need to be renamed, e.g. Commons Image, or would it 
be ok to have the sub-project called Sanselan, or Commons Sanselan?

My preference would be to adopt a functional name.  We used to have this 
documented as a policy, but that seems to vanished from the web pages, 
so it is possible that we made a conscious decision that I just 
personally forgot about to eliminate this policy.  If others - most 
importantly, the Sanselan community - feel strongly about not changing 
the name, I am OK with it.  It makes it easier for people to find their 
way through our components, however, if their names are descriptive.  
Personally, I feel the same way about TLPs, but that is a separate topic.

3. Would any changes be required from the existing packaging of 
Sanselan? For example, packages are named org.apache.sanselan. Would 
these need to be renamed to org.apache.commons.sanselan (or less fun 
name as above)?

My preference would be o.a.c.x, where x is the new functional name.  
Repackaging provides an opportunity to revise the name.

I have separately kicked off a vote on private@ (per our custom) on 
commitership.  Once that closes, we will need volunteers to help with 
the svn move and component setup.

Thanks!

Phil

+1 for functional name

-0.9 for Sanselan

BTW in French the name could mean "without enthusiasm" if one ignores
the missing space and acute accent ;-)

As it happens, "Image" means much the same in French as in English.

What for? It would bring only confusion and additional work. Let's spare that.

This is the case for most of commons components. No sense in treating
Sanselan otherwise.

There are enough projects for which a "fun name" works just fine.
Usually they are bigger though. *shrug* No strong opinion on this one.

I do have a strong opinion on the package name though. Definitely
should live in our package space. After all it's just a right click on
"refactor".

Yes, welcome. I have myself some image (resp. imageio) related code sitting
here and I'll have a close look whether it makes sense to add this also.

+1

Actually, if I have some need of common functionality not part of the JDK,
my first look is at the Apache commons components. Looking for image
related code I'd probably never spotted senselan though, simply because I
expect that the component name matches the covered topic.

That concern is valid, but it should be sufficient to change the name
Sanselan whenever factual trademark issues are found.

In order to reduce the number of actors, i'd like to propose to statr
with step 3 (voting Sanselan out of incubatgion). Should reduce the
noise for considerable number of people.

Re: [sanselan] Next steps

Posted by Craig L Russell <Cr...@Sun.COM>.
Here's my take on graduating Sanselan from incubator to commons.

1. Sanselan has been accepted by Commons.
2. The active committers have been granted write access to the  
repository.

Remaining issues:

1. Deciding on the package name for sanselan at commons.
2. Deciding on the brand name for sanselan.
3. Voting sanselan out of incubation.
4. Migrating the code from incubator/sanselan to commons/proper/ 
sanselan and repackaging everything.

Regarding issue 1, the clear preference by the primary contributors to  
the project is to use org.apache.commons.sanselan.

Regarding issue 2, the software will continue to be known as sanselan.  
So I don't think it much matters whether it's Commons Sanselan or  
Commons Image - Sanselan. Anyone landing on the commons web page  
looking for image processing will find it. And anyone using any  
popular web search engine to look for "java image apache" will find  
it. So this item is primarily talking about what it's called on its  
own individual web page in the commons web site.

Regarding 3, I think we're ready to vote sanselan out of incubation.  
I'll start the vote once we're agreed here.

Regarding 4, once 3 is done the project committers can easily perform  
this task.

What say you all?

Both Betwixt and Jelly are on the quiet side of dormant however.

My concern with Sanselan is that it gets us into the trademark game. I
like that "Apache Commons Logging" is all about the Apache trademark.

Still - not enough to cause pain and strife to the users who'll
already be dealing with maven repository changes and package name
changing :)

[good time to get in any backwards incompatible changes btw ;) ]

We already have Betwixt and Jelly, so we have two prominent libs not
