Moving components from Cocoon

[Carsten Ziegeler <cz...@s-und-n.de>]

Hi,

before I break any conventions, I will first ask you all, what
the procedure could be to migrate some components from Cocoon
to Avalon.

I thought about adding the components - more or less unchanged -
to the scratchpad directory of excalibur. When we have all classes
and interface there we could start discussing how they could,
should or must be changed and then move them when they are finished
out of the scratchpad.

Is this procedure ok?

Carsten

I don't think we are as formal to have a procedure as such ;)

I don't know much about the cocoon side of things. I guess that will have a 
big effect on things. First I would identify any components whos interface 
can't change for whatever reason - ie they were exposed to clients of Cocoon2 
and thus you don't want to mess with them. There may be some components who 
are stable and well tested enough that they don't need to go through any 
testing period. In either of these cases it may be an idea just to move them 
into the main tree.

In other cases scratchpad may be good. I guess it depends on the specific 
component and how well used it is. So in other words it is probably best for 
you / other cocooners to decide about it on a case by case basis ;)
