[Proposal] All POI committers given access to POI block Re: [GUMP] Build Failure - cocoon-block-poi

Hi,

How would you guys feel about giving all POI committers CVS access to the
HSSF Serializer block?

The only downside may be granularity of CVS control, but that could be
gotten around by saying "don't commit outside of the block" to the
committers who are all reasonable nice guys.

The advantage:  While I hope around the world, they will have the ability to
fix these kinds of things.

Alternatively, I'm game to see it moved to the POI module and genericized to
be non-cocoon specific.

Thoughts? (both lists)

-Andy

I removed it from Jakarta Commons - too much traffic for me now and also 
Andy does not want to help there because of it, and are moving it to SF.

I proposed Cocoon that I work on it @ Cocoon, but had only negative 
responses AFAIK. I'd be happy to work on it here in the scratchpad, but 
only if others want.

+1 to move the code to POI.

(there are some patches for the serializer waiting in bugzilla -- don't
forget those)

BTW, what happened to morphos?

Re: [Proposal] All POI committers given access to POI block Re: [GUMP] Build Failure - cocoon-block-poi

Posted by Csaba Nagy <na...@ecircle-ag.com>.
I'm not a committer, just a user of POI (in a fairly simple scenario),
but at one time I was looking into using the HSSF serializer, only it
was married with cocoon, which I had no intention to use. So I didn't
use it.
My personal opinion is that the serializer belongs to POI, any other
project should use an adapter of some sort.

Cheers,
Csaba.

Then its silly to have Gump work.  If "dev" versions count, fine, but I'll
request that the block failures don't go to the poi-dev list as they'll be
silly and frivolous.  Wish I'd not been swamped.  I'd have voted -1 in a
heartbeat.  I'm not an XP-er strictly but I'm sure as heck not a SDLCiac
either.

So it doesn't work at all, not now, not ever.  (This isn't intended to be
flame bait just factual analysis :-) )

Here is an issue: some time ago we decided to use in Cocoon CVS only 
released versions of the libraries. Meaning, once you change POI APIs in 
backward incompatible way, you first need to make a release and then it 
can be put into Cocoon. (How) Will this work for you?

Re: [VOTE] Move cocoon-poi-block stuff to POI

Posted by "Andrew C. Oliver" <ac...@apache.org>.
No no..  This isn't going to just be Cocoon based anymore.  This is an
XML-> Excel translation layer.  And it will soon be an Excel -> XML
translation layer as well.  Forget about Cocoon in this context.  Cocoon
will presumably use it in a very lightweight class but you'll easily be able
to run it WITHOUT cocoon.

So You know XML.  You know HSSF, this is the two of them together :-)
Secret sauce.

Well, I thought Andy was working on one?? Using the gnumeric format?  I
might
be able to lend a hand on this as I've had to delve into HSSF for a wacky
requirement at work this spring.  As I don't know gnumeric in the slightest,
I'll be pretty useless on that aspect.

I plan to make HSSFSerializer a light wrapper around "XHSSF" (or some other
lame name).  This will migrate to a new POI-controlled XML format that
cleanly matches our conceptualization (over time as I need it or others
help).  However I'd rather not wrap the vote into too many details.  I'll
play as nice as I'm permitted to play :-)   the details are just that.

Good point - can we please clarify what we really vote on here?
Moving the complete block to POI or only the serialization classes?

I'm +1 on moving serialization classes, but only +0 for moving the 
complete block unless we have implemented the "real blocks" (damn, I said
that we will get confused by naming the current separation 'blocks')
to simply drop in "remote" blocks (or we have a block repository).

I'd be in favor of moving that code to POI. Nobody else uses it and we
don't know how to manage/fix it.

I strongly believe code should reside where there is a community that
maintains it, not where it makes more sense architecturally.

But sometimes I don't find other people resonating with this vision so
count this as only my personal opinion.

I'd be in favor of moving that code to POI. Nobody else uses it and we
don't know how to manage/fix it.

I strongly believe code should reside where there is a community that
maintains it, not where it makes more sense architecturally.

But sometimes I don't find other people resonating with this vision so
count this as only my personal opinion.
