Submitting CONTRIBUTIONS to www.netrexx.org

[ThSITC]

Hello there,

    what is now the FORMAL way to submit contributions to www.netrexx.org

I would like to submit the package

org.netrexx.runtime.compatibility

which is the new version fo the former www.Rexx2Nrx.com RUN-time
package.

This package has been designed to:

     1.) Provide function oriented interfaces to the formerly builtin
functions
of classic Rexx (nowaday available only as object methods in NetRexx)
     2.) Emulate & Implement any former classic Rexx builtin functions
in a proper set of classes.

Under the new (NetRexxC 3.00) environment, they might be used as follows:

import org.netrexx.runtime.compatibility.

-- this statement will dynamically load the classes required.

To use them without any class-prefixes, I am recommending the usage of
the USING sub-clause of the class instruction as follows:

import org.netrexx.runtime.compatibility.

class myclass1 USES RexxFile

myfile='abc.def'

do while lines(myfile) > 0
    myline=linein(myfile)
    say myline -- for instance
end

--- or, for example

import org.netrexx.runtime.compatibility.RexxDate

xxx= RexxDate.Date(vvv) -- where vvv is any valid Rexx Date Parameter

Please do note, that this functionality has not been yet released
to www.netrexx.org.

You might expect the alpha-release until end of this week, when I did
have got proper advise how to submit this contribution and the RexxLA
NetRexx board does also accept it :-).

Sincerely, yours

Thomas Schneider

Thomas,

the formal way would be to enter an issue in the Kenai NetRexx project, of type 'improvement', attach the code (including an attestation of provenance, i.e. that you made it all yourself and guarantee that there are no third parties with claims on its IP), license it with ICU or an equivalent or more liberal license so that it can be brought under the attention of the NetRexx ARB, which will let you know if it has been accepted, how it is going to be packaged and distributed - in due time.

best regards,

René Jansen.

I think an "extras" or "extensions" repository (called as such but
actually a subfolder on the main netrexx site/server ie
www.netrexx.org/extensions or extensions.netrexx.org) would be very
nice.

Just my $0.02
