In my view the driver has already been forked by Kevin Wooten so it's more
of a case of will it be an official fork or not? I think it would be a good
idea to harness the enthusiasm from the contributors to the newer driver.
However I think it would be a shame and a mistake to throw away the work
that has gone into the stable driver. If it's not feasible to merge the
code of both drivers I do think it would be useful to share what can be -
particularly the functional tests.
If it is decided to promote both drivers as official projects I think, for
the benefit of the users confused about the choice, that the newer driver
be labelled as a beta until such time as everyone is convinced in its
stability and functionality, that it is pushed as the current driver and
then the older one can become legacy.
My interest in the project has mainly been around getting the jars
automatically uploaded to Maven. I'm interested in reviewing driver patches
but I don't have the knowledge of the protocol at the moment to provide any
useful feedback other than obvious things. I would like to experiment with
an alternative build system called Gradle and get continuous integration
and deployment sorted out so that upon check-in the driver is built on a
variety of platforms, tested on a variety of servers and automatically
deployed to Maven central as well as the website. My time is a bit variable
with kids/work/life taking a big chunk of it so I would like to collaborate
with people on the project.
Cheers,
Stephen
