[betwixt] Status of Betwixt

Betwixt is a very useful component, and a number of people would like to 
start using it in production systems.

Could someone give a quick update as to why Betwixt is still at a 1.0 
alpha?  and, also provide a timeline for a 1.0 release.

Too bad we don't have jira yet, it has some nice roadmap features.. See for the rest my reply to Tim...

I use betwixt in production, and would be willing to help push for a 
release.  It would be nice if Robert or Martin could create a roadmap of 
sorts which could identify all of the works in progress and other things 
necessary for a betwixt 1.0 release.

[codec] author tags to be removed

Posted by Tim O'Brien <to...@discursive.com>.
As per the discussions, @author tags are going away.  Anyone listed in an 
author tag who is not in the project.xml will be added.

This is a small matter, but if anyone objects, do so within the next day.

We started before codehaus was there on the servers of Bob under
xulux.org. After the move from nyx.xulux.org to xulux.org and the first
release, I will personally see to it, that I make as much noise as
possible to get me some users, besides myself :)

I am not monitoring the a-c / j-c debate too specific (just if I want
some destraction from a programming problem) :).
It's not that I don't care about it, just care more about programming
till I drop :).
For a release we absolutely need Robert (at least pending changes, and
current todo's), since he did the last big refactor. I will try to reach
him in private to ask, just in case he is not able to monitor the list
because of lack of time..
I would like to move bugzilla issues out of the way before a release.
Robert probabably should close one, the rest has my attention :).

I will also check to see how good the testcoverage is, since I lost
track of that a long time ago :)

If you could put your refactorings in a branch, that would be very cool
(easier to merge from / to head). My time is limited too (I am moving in
a couple of weeks), but I'll see if I can find the time to get some
betwixt work done.
Maybe an update on IRC ?

You could consider a new sandbox project. Then you don't worry about
compatability. (Its what I'd do...)

I think this may be the best idea.  Or, you could create an
experimental/refactoring directory in CVS and put the code in there.

I've had no time to work on Jakarta stuff lately, but I use Betwixt and
am interested in helping to get a release going.

too many to list quickly. it took me a long time to understand a little 
about what a start-from-java mapper needs to do. now i think i have an 
idea, the current betwixt internal structure isn't strong and simple 
enough to support it.

there are some list of planned features on the todo list in the 
documentation.

the refactoring i've been (slowly) doing is a complete rewrite (again) 
of the xml reading code.

> Perhaps a little road map?

i'd suggest that we start off as martin says: i'll tidy up my 
refactored code and create a branch this weekend. we'll get together 
for a chat on IRC sometime next week or weekend.

i know that some people want (and possibly need) a proper (non-alpha) 
release. the code in cvs head is probably good enough for a 0.1 or 0.5 
release but some other committer would need to manage it. this could be 
done as soon as convenient. (the more advanced refactored stuff would 
be on the branch.)

> Do we have a wiki?

probably :)

but IIRC the apache wiki's (does anyone know more?) are being 
restructured so maybe it'd be a good idea to hold off until the dust

i've now realized that releasing the alpha was a major mistake: it 
should have been a 0.1 release. it's reasonable solid as far as it 
goes.

the problem is that the code needs a *lot* of refactoring before the 
functionality that consider the minimal for a full release can be 
added. there's also going to be a lot of deprecated code that will need 
to be removed before it's ready. this means that probably one or two 
minor 0.x releases would be needed. (a secondary issue is that now i'm 
not on the pmc i don't feel able to cast binding vote on legally 
important issues or cut releases so even if the work was done, someone 
else would need to act as release manager.)

i've been working on a major refactoring of betwixt for a long time now 
but i've also got a number of local versions with extra bits and pieces 
in. unfortunately, too much of my time has been taken up with jakarta 
stuff in the last few months and i haven't been able to sort out this 
mess :(

now that i've finished with that, i should have more coding time :)

i've made some progress on the refactoring recently but i've neglected 
a lot of other projects i'm interested in and have a lot of catching up 
to do.

realistically i'm not going to be in a position to put the refactored 
stuff in cvs for a while yet. (i'm very committed to backwards 
compatibility and the final details of the design aren't clear in my 
mind yet though the broad outline is). if there's interest from other 
committers i could think about tidying the refactored stuff up and 
putting it into a branch so that we can talk about the design.

Understood.  I'm in the same boat as you.

Let me know if you need any release support.  In the meantime, if you find 
yourself overburdened, let's start delegating.

I'm surprised that we have enough time to talk about all these 
philosophical J-C vs. A-C issues, or even debating author tags when 
something as important as Betwixt sits in an Alpha for so long.

Hi Tim,

On my part that almost all my "resources" go to my gui framework xulux
on codehaus, my work, my newly acquired family and preparation for my
new house. I try to organize a "betwixt" night so now and then, but that
is hardly enough time to get a new release out the door.
Robert is probably busy (or on a holiday?) and James has moved on to
other projects.
So currently betwixt is a bit asleep and wakes up so know and then when
I can schedule a betwixt night.

Mvgr,
Martin
