BTW, I just updated the code at [1] to use org.apacheextras and also updated the description of the project to make it clear that it's not Apache releases nor is it Apache code. Cheers, Chris [1] http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/oodt-pushpull-plugins/ On Dec 29, 2011, at 10:30 PM, M

Hey Guys, I was talking with Greg, and I think I'm OK with org.apacheextras as the namespace. It sounds like Noirin thought that was cool and so did Mark S. Are folks here on ComDev cool with that namespace for our Extras projects? If so, I'll update my COMDEV-65 patch with docs stating that and

Funny, your conclusion is exactly contrary to my reasoning. It strikes me that you are talking about extending the decentralized governance of the org.apache.oodt.* namespace (i.e., the ability to add branches and new types) to an external effort that, coincidentally, happens to be conducted b

Thanks Chris, Just one caution. I mentioned authority over namespaces, not authority over Apache Extras. The question is what constitutes authorized use of additions to the org.apache.* hierarchy for namespaces. On reflection, I think the answer should be independent of Apache Extras. And t

It is an interesting idea that the apache-extras.org domain be usable this way. There is no mapping to projects directly (it being a mapping into code.google.com instead). Nevertheless, if the project label is "mylabel" then org.apache_extras.mylabel.* would work as a technical solution. (The

I think this situation is very clear-cut. The only two ways an Apache namespace should show up in an Apache Extras project is (1) for something of Apache that the project depends on: an external dependency, and (2) for a conforming implementation of a type that is defined by an Apache
