- Outcome: Deferred, questions to be asked on next meeting:
18:08:47 <nirik> so, how about we defer this, ask the feature owner:- how popular is this
- should it really be a feature
- and are reviewers lined up and/or review bugs marked as part of a feature
How popular is this
TBD
- Figures? Couldn't find any recent enough
- Numbers smaller as it used to be closed, popularity likely to increase
- Is this popular internationally comparably to .cz? (JetBrains, company that develops this is Czech-based)
- Seems like it is
- With Eclipse and NetBeans universally acknowledged as Java IDE Wars survivor
Should it really be a feature
TBD
- NetBeans was
- Likely to attract new users. How?
- Strongest point for being a feature
- First to ship IDEA
- Pleasing and attracting Java community with IDEA as well as stack it builds on, Groovy
- Assuring open-sourcing closed stuff is a good idea, helping IDEA grow community
- Just newly open-sourced http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2009/10/intellij-idea-open-sourced/
- Just a bunch of packages?
- Basically, every feature lives in a packages
- Substantial packaging work done on dependencies, first to ship them (others follow, openSUSE)
Reviewing packages
The dependent packages are/will be organized in tree of dependencies whose root will be the main intellij-idea package.
There's no blocker bug yet. Is it common, useful to have one?
