What's the current involvement of JBoss with NHibernate?
Do you see any kind of involvement since 1 year and half ?
I don't.
Do they still support NHibernate?
They don't support NH; JBoss is owned by RedHat and you can imagine how much they want hear about something involved with Microsoft technology.
Or do they 'own' something like names or trademarks?
RedHat own
www.nhibernate.org and NHibernate trademark. But for us this is not a problem...
We don't ask nothing more that the ability to have our site based on our technology with our knowledge base, our blog and all with our stile.
Obviusly we will have various links to JBoss site, at the end NH is a port of Hibernate.
If not, I think it's alright to have our own site.
And if yes?
This is OpenSource under LGPL license.
I can help setting this up. For example, we already have a Screwturn
Wiki user provider @Cuyahoga for single sign-on.
We will need help from all want to contrib with NH community. It will be the spirit of the site.
Does NHibernate get any funding or sponsoring at the moment? This could
be useful for hosting etc.
At the moment we don't have sponsors more than who give us free license to develop NH (VisualSvn, Resharper, dotTrace, NAntBuilder, OxyGen, JIRA).... and another one: Karl Chu are hosting our JIRA.
