The problem is I don't have Aplaws; I have CCM. While it's great that =
there is an apparent strong community for a line of CCM, unless you're =
supporting the base codeline as opposed to a sibling or cousin it really =
doesn't assuage my concerns for support. I'll admit I'm not familiar with =

provide extensions and then submit any required core modifications to Red =
Hat?

Thanks,
Bob

Richard,

Thanks for the announcement, this is very interesting news. My feeling is
that this could be the move that makes the platform fly finally.

As a company offering services around the platform, most of our customers
are actually Aplaws and Aplaws Plus customers. Do you have any information
about how the Aplaws Plus community will interact with CCM / ObjectWeb in
the future?

Bob,

I think there is in fact a community out there - for example we have
around 10 developers on the project (Aplaws, but the same codebase) and I
know there are other individual external developers. There are also quite
a few internal developers at West Sussex County Council of all places. The
product has quite high penetration in the UK local government market (and
growing) and I think that will provide a vibrant community.

Already, companies like ourselves and rol offer support packages, and I'm
sure others will join too. This kind of move could really harness the
ability of this community to take the product forward, both supporting
customers and from the point of view of the future technical direction. I
think we'd all support what Richard is hinting at about standardising some
of the architectural components, and we'd hope that via ObjectWeb we can
contribute to that process.

cheers
