Functor Users / Project Management?
Hi all,
I'm not really sure how this is done but over the past year and a half
or so, I've been working one of the original functor contributors,
Jason Horman, on a branch of functor and we've made a lot of progress
with it. For example, it's updated to take advantage of generics which
is extremely helpful and also have done a lot work developing
compilers that allows you to translate expressions into runtime
functions, etc. This has been extremely useful for us on our project
and we'd like to get this code back into the main branch.
I've emailed Rodney Waldhoff, who is listed as the project lead for
functor but haven't heard back. There's been no progress on functor
since 2005 and I don't want to step on toes, but I'm also interested
in contributing to the community.
Any pointers on what can be done would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete

No vote has been taken. I'll start one when my time
starts to look like I'll have some to spare for
[functor], unless someone else wants to start the vote
sooner.

Hello,
I'm curious if the vote was ever taken, and if so, what was the result ?
I'd very much like
to see Functor come alive again and start taking advantage of the
benefits of Java 5/6.

Not sure if there is an established protocol :-) (other than that bit
on the site, since dormancy has sort of been a one-way street -- I'm
for voting).

Right, I meant "whether the vote should be held" as in
"are there any reasons why reviving [functor] would be
simply out of the question?" I wasn't implying any
desire to circumvent established protocols. :)

I think its good to have the vote as suggested (after any preliminary
discussion here). While its a lower bar than sandbox graduation, I
think its useful to gauge interest and makes it harder for the change
to slip under people's radar etc. As an aside, I do not have any
cycles to help with functor ATM.

Hi Pete--
I could be interested in being the Jakarta commons
conduit for a revival of the functor code. According
to the jakarta website, "A revival of a Commons
Dormant component must be preceded by a VOTE on the
commons developers mailing list." Is there a general
feeling on-list as to whether the vote should be held,
or any thoughts on why the revival of [functor] would
be ill-advised?
