Apache Verticals (A new opensource perspective)
Hello Apache friends,
I have been using Apache libraries since I started coding.
And it is great in its own way.
Till now I found Apache created applications or libraries that are more
generic which can be used in any domain like(Medicine, Engineering, Finance
etc.) where ever applicable. And that is good.
However a though came to my mind where I felt, how would it be if Apache
community also start focusing domain related applications, I mean
applications more aligned towards a given domain.
A simple example would be "Mobile Payments" could be one domain area.
And having an opensource "Apache Mobile Wallet" would be very great.
Similarly more applications can be incubated for other relevant domains
(Finance, Astronomy, Construction, etc).
Comments are welcome.

Funny you should mention finance and payments -- a podling I'm mentoring
is building exactly that: http://fineract.incubator.apache.org/
This is the tech behind: http://mifos.org/
Thanks,
Roman.

Yes, it's correct that the Apache model works very well for
infrastructure software, that can be used in many different domains.
As other have mentioned, however, we do have a few projects which are
successful in more specialized and domain-specific areas.
One thing to note is that, contrary to other similar foundations, the
Apache Software Foundation does not have a technical strategy. We are
here to provide a neutral space for people to collaborate on our
projects, but from the foundation's point of view we don't really care
what kind of software those projects create.
So if you have a specific project in mind, as also mentioned here
proposals can be made via http://incubator.apache.org/ , ideally after
seeding the project with some code and at least an embryo of a
community.

Sounds like a great idea. I believe this way people can contribute in more effective way with their domain expertise as well.

I'm not sure where you want this conversation to go - anybody is free to
propose project to the incubator. If you see a need and a potential
solution, then I'm sure you could start to build a community around it.
