status of other projects (particularly Postage)

Hi,
I just wanted to see if there was anywhere with information on the current
state of the other projects in the James suite. Some of the sub-projects
seem to have gone completely inactive (Postage), while some never seem to
really have got off the ground (Hupa). Is there anywhere where we can get
current info? There are some pretty funky things going on, like on the
Postage subsite there is a link to the main download area for "released"
binaries, even though there are none for Postage, and the mailing list
points to the website mailing list... I also see there is an issue declared
with Postage not running with James server 3, a patch attached, but the
issue remains unassigned. Are these projects currently without maintainers?
Is there anything I can do to help?
Cheers
Anton

If the subproject dont has a mailinglist its often the best to just
ask on server-dev. We dont have different commit rights in
subproejects. Every James committer can commit to every subproject.

Hi,

The known mailing list are described on http://james.apache.org/mail.html

Where did you find postage mailing list pointing to website project?

To answer your question, all subprojects don't have their own mailing 
list. If you have a question on a subproject that doesn't have its own 
mailing list (postage for example), I would that that you could use the 
"James General List", although web site indicates "Do not send mail to 
this list with James software problems".
I think that sentence should be replaces with something like "Use this 
mailing list for any topic not covered by the other mailing list".

Don't hesitate to hack the xml files of the web site (ping us if you 
don't find them, sometimes difficult at first sight) and submit pathces 
via JIRA.

Tks.

My question was more about project structure - I have questions about a
sub-project, to whom should I address these questions if I don't get answers
from a maintainer? What if there is no maintainer? This list seems to be
dedicated to the server sub-project, so I don't know if it is appropriate
posting questions about other sub-projects here... For example, the Postage
site points me to the website mailing list (i.e., the website James
sub-project) - clearly the website sub-project is a strange place to have
discussions about a java load testing tool! I don't even know whether you,
as server sub-project maintainers, have any commit rights on Postage...
Could you explain how things are working at the moment? Is this list the
list to post to if I'm not sure where to post?
Thanks again,
Anton

Hi Anton,

Postage and Hupa are good candidates to begin with contribution/help.
I don't doubt that the exisiting or future project committers will jump 
one day.

There is indeed the POSTAGE-22. You can not commit it, but you could 
give it a try and tell us if it works. There is also the website: you 
can provide us patch to correct it.

If you like code, you can propose patch to whatever you like.
If you want something more or less isolated to begin, you can look at 
the mailbox-integration-tests and see how you can use MPT libraries. I 
think that those two projects need to collaborate more (there are 
duplicates).

Just tell us :)
Tks
