Grizzly ROADMAP: 1.9.x and 2.0 -> Time to speak!

Salut,

Now that we are *almost* saved from GlassFish work (almost :-)), we will
  eventually have time to come back here and do what we like, which is
to make the community happy and add new features. I would like to start
a new thread discussions about where peoples want to focus on.

Hubert has done great work on the Deployer and Sebastien on annotation
support. What's next? I would propose we work on two things:

(1) Grizzly 2.0 FCS, with a back to back white paper as a pre-requisite
for release. I sign up for the white paper :-)

(2) Forward port all the http/http-servlet-XX/Comet/OSGi works to
Grizzly 2.0

** Anybody interested to contribute I will give committer privileges for
free :-) **


Now I would like to vote on the following topic:

1. Should the Servlet Container works be only on top of 2.0? Or should
we make sure both version are supported?

2. Should 1.9.19 be *our last* 1.9.x release with new features, and then
we move to sustaining mode?

3. Should we refactor *entirely* the http module API and make sure it is
aligned with Grizzly 2.0 new design? I'm tempted to refactor everything
but we will break a lot of applications

4. Gitub or Kenai? For sure we MUST move out of java.net

5. Should we drop Cometd support? Cometd.org can be run using Grizzly
Comet + Atmosphere

If you can reply publicly, please reply to jfarcand_at_apache.org with your
request/recommendation.

Please share your vision :-)

A+
