The goal of this page is to document important decisions that affect the architecture of karaf.
Each decision should have the following properties:

• Date when was the decision was made
• Who was in favour and who was against the decision
• Environmental constraints that influence the decision
• Pros and Cons
• Pointers to the mailing list threads where the discussuion took place

While all of the above information is also present on the list it is often quite confusing to read through long threads. Often people also change their opinion so reading one mail on the list can even lead in the wrong direction. Using this documentation we hope to avoid having the same discussions over and over again. At the same time the idea is to revisit decisions in some interval and either aprove they are still valid or change them.
