[Fiware-miwi] About "Reviews ongoing" and feedback

[Jonne Nauha]

I've not gotten a change to read the latest fiware mails. So I have a
couple questions.

Is this document the only feedback we are going to get?

*"This manual is not seriously worked - I do not understand why I got
informed that this was delivered"*

Is this really it? I should now realize what is wrong with the page and go
fix it? I really have a hard time reading this kind of feedback and acting
on it. I was not the only GE that got this kind of comments.

*"Serious rejection. Extremely shallow and it does not cover what a user
manual should have (also, it fails to provide a programmers manual and a
"hello world" example)"*

I really am of the opinion that our GE and GEi are not software components
that can be programmed against. Its about a spec you implement if you wish
this kind of functionality to your application. Not a library that you can
add this functionality to your application by reading a wiki page.

This is a pretty complicated multi part system with a lot of moving parts.
Yes, the client side can be changed by the programmer and there is some
kind of JS lib that has an API. You can tweak the client to change the look
and feel if you wish. I just don't see a easy way to boil this down to a
trivial ~10-20 line "hello world" example.

Are all fiware GEs/GEis really required to have a "hello world" example and
be so trivial that this is actually feasible? I was under the impression
that GEis are just examples on how the GE works. And that the GE spec is
the important part that is the guide for developers to make their own
implementations. I think our GE spec is solid and it does what was promised.


Any comments? Anyone else having trouble figuring out on what to improve
with the provided feedback? I'm sure the feedback is correct and I do need
to work on the pages a bit more, but there is no direction. For me as a
developer the pages are pretty straight forward and have already had other
devs running Cloud Rendering successfully with my wiki pages.
