Apache Flex source code - timeline for the initial code contribution

[Raju Bitter]

Great to see that the dev mailing list is up and running!

Is there any timeline/plan for when we can expect to see the first
source code contribution of Adobe happening? The decision to make
Apache Flex an incubator project was made really fast, therefore I
imagine that it will still take Adobe a few weeks until the source
code will be contributed to Apache (legal discussion around which
portions of the SDK source code can be put under the Apache license).

Thanks,
Raju

[Alex Harui]

The plan is to try to deal with the most obvious and easy licensing issues
and get the most or all of the framework source code in this week.  We'll
finish scrubbing later.

Getting our automated verification suite in will take longer, so we'll
probably ask that commits be limited to "safe" things like really simple bug
fixes and documentation.

Thanks for the update Alex.  I know this may be asking too much, but would
it be possible to maintain the SVN history as well?  That history is often
times invaluable in tracking down bugs and looking for specific fixes.

Cheers,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

We're looking into preserving the history.  We're not sure yet whether or
not it is feasible for us to do it.  If not maybe we can put the
repository we pulled from up somewhere on adobe opensource site so the
history is still available.

Hi all,

Our website
        http://incubator.apache.org/flex/

is 'an ugly temporary website'.

I think we need a logo and some basic structure put in place.

Do we ask for volunteers to work on it?

Carol

[Rick Winscot]

Carol,

Have you used svnsync? I highly recommend it.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/svnsync.txt

Alternatively... you could 'svn log --xml http://url_to_your_repository' to generate an xml commit history. This would allow you to scrub the output as needed... and then include the file in the initial source commit.

Cheers,

Rick Winscot

Not an initial committer... but I'd be happy to help on this front.

Most of the sites look pretty "ugly".

It would be nice for someone to do something. Maybe someone with more
design skills than I have :)

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to get the community involved - give it a
deadline of a week to come up with a proposal and have an open vote on the
mailinglist?

I'm sure we have some really talented people already on here willing to
volunteer but might as well open it up and drive some interest and
participation? Just a thought.

Maybe I could team up with Rick to get that done, i'll send him an email so
we can trade contacts and get work started

If you can get an svn dump from the existing Flex repository that
should work, we can ask the ASF infrastructure team to import it.

I'd then suggest the following process:

-Create the svn dump from the Adobe repository
-Put it somewhere with a public URL for download (as it's probably too
big to attach to a JIRA issue)
-Submit the software grant from Adobe  [1], which includes the md5
digest of the dump file
-Once the grant is confirmed, create a JIRA issue for the ASF infra
team to import the dump

Peter,

Part of me wants to agree, part of me says that if Hugo and Rick are
already excited enough to get into it we should just support that.
Obviously they are interested enough to already be watching the mailing
lists day one. But I'd be happy to see some +1/0/-1's on the subject. I
have no problem being told that I'm wrong and lots of people are just
knocking down the door to make a new cool design.

I like the idea of having anyone that wants to submit a design do so, and if more than one decide to submit something within a timeframe then we can vote on it. If it's only Rick and Hugo that submit a design together, then we go with their design by default.

It's all my fault ;-)

I'm happy to explain how to modify it if people want to add things
there now, but as you say:

>
> I think we need a logo and some basic structure put in place....

The standard option here would be to use the Apache CMS, it's a fairly
basic tool but very convenient for our types of projects as it's based
on content in subversion - which also means it's easy to include
generated content.

There's some information here:
http://wiki.apache.org/general/ApacheCms2010
http://www.apache.org/dev/cms.html
http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html

and the Stanbol site is an example of a simple website managed by that CMS:
site at http://incubator.apache.org/stanbol/
content at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stanbol/site/trunk

If people agree with that solution, I can request ASF infrastructure
to set it up for us.

Someone will need to create a design anyway (CSS, logos etc), the CMS
only provides the editing/staging/publishing infrastructure.

I don't think we need a vote before work can commence. Basically if
Rick and Hugo are rarin' to go, then they should have at it. I would
encourage them to do as much of their work as possible on the mailing

I also have interest in collaborating with the initiative, I will get in
touch with Hugo and Rick to find out how I can help.
