Re: [mylyn-dev] Stepping back from Mylyn Wikitext

[Alexander Fedorov <alexander.fedorov@xxxxxxxxxx>]

    Thanks to Tasktop people for creating such a fantastic solution that
    serves many people for so long!
    
    And I have a related topic to notify the Mylyn community.
    
    To let this celebration of usability and joy continue, it was
    decided to merge Mylyn Docs repository to the main Mylyn repository
    and unify it with the rest of Mylyn repository content. 
    This is currently the only choice to keep the Mylyn Docs
    contribution to Eclipse SimRel alive and actual, since at the moment
    Mylyn project cannot boast of excessive resources.
    
    Practically it means a number of sensitive and even breaking
    changes:
    * Mylyn Docs repository has been archived and content has been moved
    to
    https://github.com/eclipse-mylyn/org.eclipse.mylyn/tree/main/mylyn.docs
    * Mylyn Docs maven modules with packaging "bundle" has been reworked
    to "eclipse-plugin" + "eclipse-test-plugin" pair
    * Mylyn Docs bundle versions has been aligned with Mylyn (currently
    4.2.0)
    * Mylyn Docs feature versions has been aligned with Mylyn (currently
    4.2.0)
    * Mylyn Docs feature identifiers and content has been reworked to be
    aligned with Mylyn
    
    The good news that all these breaking changes are already adopted by
    SimRel and EPP  (thanks to Jonah Graham for support) just after
    2024-03 M1 and will be available starting from 2024-03 M2.
    
    For these who would like to see Mylyn Docs supported, but without so
    annoying breaking changes, there are two options that do not exclude
    each other:
     * contribute effort to keep "maintenance" branch(es)
     * fill Mylyn project with support budget
    
    Regards,
    AF

I regret to inform that Planview is stepping back from Eclipse contributions and winding down Tasktop's remaining involvement in active projects. Specifically, this means that Brandon White and myself will no longer be active committers to the Mylyn Wikitext project. 

The Wikitext project has had a low volume of defects come in over the last several years, which I hope is a sign that the project is serving its users well and I am hopeful that it will continue to do so. Alexander Kurtakov has done an incredible amount of work to keep the project up to date, and I would nominate him to lead the Wikitext project if he wants that responsibility.

Planview will continue to use Wikitext strategically in some of its products, but we have made the difficult choice to host our own fork of Wikitext tailored to our needs and processes. Source code releases of this fork will be available at https://github.com/Tasktop/code.modifications/tree/master/src/wikitext and linked to from the Tasktop Code Patches and Modifications page at http://tasktop.github.io/code.modifications/

I'd like to thank everybody involved in the Mylyn Wikitext project, committers, contributors and users.

Cheers,

Leo
