[JIRA] Cleanup before 1.0 RC1
I just wanted to summarize some findings from several discussions on IRC:
(1) [OBSERVATION] Current directory JIRA configuration is out of control
with number of subprojects. Umbrella project madness is setting in.
Users and contributors alike are having problems figuring out which JIRA
to search or post new issues to.
(2) [OBSERVATION] There are only 3 releasable projects at Directory:
ApacheDS, MINA and Naming. The "other" category falls into the sandbox.
(3) [CONCLUSIONS] Simplify by condensing existing set of JIRAs into 4:
- DIRMINA
- DIRAPACHEDS
- DIRNAMING
- DIRSANDBOX
DIRMINA and DIRNAMING are fine as is. This means renaming or destroying
then reloading DIREVE issues into DIRAPACHEDS. All service projects
like DIRLDAP, DIRNTP, DIRDNS, DIRDHCP, DIRXXX etc are to be consolidated
under DIRAPACHEDS. Other projects will be moved to DIRSANDBOX.
As I said before in another email it's time to stop playing project
manager for the ideal situation with JIRA. We have 3 releasable
offerings and are about to have many users trying the next few releases
of these products. We need to make things easier as we did for the
build using m2 and the repository reorganization.
Any objections to this simplification?

Hmmm having trouble understanding. The release candidate is basically a
beta version of 1.0 with a feature freeze. All we do with the RC series
is fix bugs and perhaps just optimize the server.

Could you explain what you mean and with respect to what aspect? You
referring to JIRA roadmaps and versioning?

Sorry Brett I'm a bit confused and don't understand please clarify for me.

Another observation: it seems you are going to release a 1.0 RC1 that
is not exactly what you intend 1.0 to be. From personal experience,
I've found that to be problematic. We now essentially copy the RC to
the final release binary where possible.
Is that right? WDYT about a different labelling?
