Eike,
Thanks for the pointer, and the
release!
Since you are calling this
"1.0.0"
I assume this is also a "graduation review"?
Yes.
Assuming so, I myself
would like to see some of the more typical aspects of a
"graduating
project" -- you know, like responsive to bugzillas, user
lists/forums,
tutorials, that you have an "active community" (both committers
and users or adopters). To some extent, I know all of this is
true, but
... for the sake of documentation would like to see more of it
written
down in your release review document
I've added respective infos to the PMI record for the
release review.
(not to mention, to
be explicit that
it is also a Graduation Review).
I tried hard, but couldn't find a text ield in the PMI that seemed
like an adequate target for this type of release/review-related
info. Do you have a suggestion?
I honestly like to see that kind
of
stuff in every release review document, not just graduating, but
think
it is more important for graduating projects.
If I've misunderstood (and you
have
it there in your links or something I missed, or the process is
changed
now and there is no such thing as a graduation review) feel free
to say.
As an elected member of the Eclipse Architecture Council I can
confirm that graduation reviews are still required as per section
6.3.2 of the Eclipse Development Process 2014:
https://eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php#6_3_2_Graduation_Review
. And "[...] A graduation review is generally combined with a
release review."
I've tried to add information to the PMI in order to confirm all the
objectives of a graduation review (as described in
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Graduation_Reviews
), i.e., "[...] that the Project is/has:"
- a working and demonstratable code base of sufficiently high
quality
- active and sufficiently diverse communities: adopters, developers,
and users
- operating fully in the open following the Principles and Purposes
of Eclipse
- a credit to Eclipse and is functioning well within the larger
Eclipse community
And, I don't mean a LOT of extra
work
on your part ... just a few bullets ... maybe an extra hour or
so writing
it up?
More like "or so" :P
But I believe that this rework has made the review more valuable to
the community. Thank you again for the hints and don't hesitate to
ask for more!
Cheers
/Eike
