Hello,
We received the first commiters status on the newly
created sensiNact project. We sh=ould soon provide the
initial contribution for IP review. We just had a small
meeting with the team and we have some questions.
Our project is mainly composed of, at least, 2 larges
subprojects, i.e., a client and a server. Thus, we would
like to know what is the better way to proceed for the IP
review. Should we submit the two subprojects or should we
do it incrementally (the server and then the client). I
know there is the
parallel IP process we could ask for
but I don't know if this is relevant for this case.
To accelerate the IP review, we are not going to
submit all the modules in the initial contribution. It
will also let us put in the right format our existing
code and still start the IP review process. Is a new
module (or in the future a new feature) must always be
sent for IP review? According to the
Eclipse Legal Process, we could
just submit a minimal set of code of the project
(initial commit on page 2) and then commit everything
else using the normal process (page 1, Figure 1).
And the last question. We have at least 2
subprojects. We saw that it is possible to create new
repositories (cf.
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Git#Creating_a_new_repository).
Can we ask for others repositories to host subprojects
(e.g., the client, the server, etc.)? It will ease the
project management because we are not using the same
technologies on the subprojects. Or should we request
for a new Eclipse project in order to have a separated
GIT repository?
