THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
- Configuration.
- Globalization (locale, time zone, currency).
- Logging.
- Security (authentication/authorization).
- Actor Management (profiles, roles - required for security; Actors - people, external services) Think of UML Actor. Required to remove dependency on Party
- Persistence (file system or database).
- Lang package to provide classes that are fundamental to the framework
- Services.
- Runtime management
Initial Approach
Currently we don’t have enough information to build our implementation roadmap so have agreed on an approach that will help provide that information. Our main focus of work will be to expand and complete the existing Framework Design Documentation as follows:
| Task | Description | Status | Who is Working on It | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Describe and define what is meant by each of the 9 areas mentioned above. (what is it?, what does it do?) | In Progress | Ron, Taher, Adrian for review | |
| 2 | To do this we will write the API specification for each on the wiki (NOTE: Even though the API spec will be written in Javadoc, we want to use the wiki rather than a repository at this stage as we want to validate and agree them before any coding starts ) | Not Started | ||
| 3 | Open the API specifications for review and comments from the community, and based on feedback, do any updates | Not Started | ||
| 4 | Once the API specifications are agreed, we will have more information about the work involved and should be able to put together an initial version of our implementation roadmap | Not Started |
Initial Deliverables
- An API Specification for each of the 9 areas
- An Implementation Roadmap
Initial Milestones
- Completion of each API specification (includes feedback and community agreement) giving a total of 9

Outstanding Actions
- Find out what is involved in setting up a subproject repository and mailing list for the subproject within Apache (Sharan Foga)
- Continue to complete API Spec documentation including Javadoc (Ron Wheeler, Taher Alkhateeb, Adrian adrianc for review)
- Review organisation and structure of other frameworks for ideas to incorporate (Ron Wheeler, Taher Alkhateeb, Sharan Foga, and any other community members interested)
