FYI: I think I will remove the YARD editor even from the current main.
Question: Do we want to also drop Optaplanner at this step? Note: If examples is not part of the main cycle it will always be broken. Toni Rikkola On 19/03/2026 20.53, Tiago Bento wrote:
Hi all, As we make progress towards the 10.2 release, I’d like to propose a refreshed development stream focused on Drools, jBPM, and Kogito — 10.3.x+. This leaner stream would be developed in the `main` branch but giving it a distinct name (10.3.x+) marks it as a milestone in Apache KIE. Borrowing ideas from the original proposal for a duo-repo structure, here’s what it would look like: - A “new” `kie` repository from renaming `drools` (gotta keep the 6k stars!), incorporating `drools`, `optaplanner`, `kogito-runtimes`, and `kogito-apps`, minus SonataFlow modules - `kie-tools` continue as is, minus DashBuilder, YaRD, and SonataFlow packages - `kie-examples` from a renamed `kogito-examples`, with a development cycle detached from `kie` and `kie-tools` - `kie-website` unchanged - `kie-docs` unchanged - PR checks and release automations re-written for a click-button release process and a local- first development setup The community would continue to have access to DashBuilder, YaRD, and SonataFlow via the 10.2.x branch. The 10.3.x+ stream would bring a refreshed structure to Apache KIE, reduce barriers for new contributors, and allow for existing contributors to collaborate more efficiently. Regards, Tiago Bento
