It has been proven already since months on a nearly daily basis. For example: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/discuss/msgReader$268My understanding is that because of its collaborative nature, contributing to PDO V2 has new and very different implications.You mean its collaborative and restrictive nature?
That has already been stated. This is not an "us and them" situation since each party has different requirements.Arguments using past contributions to show the ad-hoc development model is feasible are (unfortunately) not tenableAgain, please see my other posts. Since my last post, nothing has been brought to the list to clarify the situation. Important questions like who is asking a CLA
who will contribute and what will be brought on board?That has also been stated: expertise and person-power. The fine points will depend on the community, a term that includes data access providers (I'm using that name since not all are actual "vendors"), and the model the community chooses to accept.
Why did they not take contact with us?We did. It just took a very long time. Think of it as a normal "is this idea possible" chat that took place in very, very, very slow motion.
