What shall we do then in incubator? Any idea for a productive outcome?
Either see what improvements we can get from Forrest, or convert to anakia
and have a less sophisticated site.
Personally, I'd like to see if the Forrest folks can "redeem" the product's
reputation here, and make people happy in a timely manner.
I've been checking the archives.
In my opinion sticking with Forrest will be damaging to both parties unless:
- people here are willing to actually respond to Davids proposals (not
necessarily agree, but at least respond)
- make feature requests for Forrest via our own lists and/or jira rather
than on lists that we don't read
- use our user lists and docs in order to resolve problems they are
having with the tool
If people here are willing to do the above (which is not anything other
than the normal "Apache Way") then I would be +1 on sticking with
Forrest (yes +1, as in I will be active *here* in incubator). However, I
am still only one *volunteer*, as is David. We need other people to put
in a little effort.
As for "redeeming" the product. As I said in an earlier post, we have
taken the valid parts of the criticism here on board and are working on
it (there has already been 2 doc improvements and one bug fix as a
result of observations here, plus one proposal to make our ForrestBot
functionality available durning "forrest run").
Will it be timeley? I don't know we are all volunteers. It will take as
long as it takes.
If any of the above seems unreasonable then I am -1 on sticking with
Forrest.
