Difference between Android-rcs-ims-stack and rcsjta projects #140

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I have a question: what is the difference between two projects 
Android-rcs-ims-stack (https://code.google.com/p/android-rcs-ims-stack/) and 
Rcsjta (https://code.google.com/p/rcsjta)?

I’ve checked their source code and apparently their share a lot of it.

At the same time I also saw that Rcsjta project development is not as robust 
and there are significantly less questions on the issues tab.

What is the difference then? Why maintaining both?

RCSJTA contains the standardization of the RCS API leaded by GSMA, Orange Labs 
is in charge of a first reference implementation based on the 
Android-rcs-ims-stack implementtaion. RCSJTA is again under implementaion, the 
API definition has been agreed and reviewed mainly by Samsung and Qualcomm.

Would I be right by saying that Android-RCS-IMS-stack provide more features, 
but at the same time more experimental than RCSJTA?

At the same time RCSJTA source is more conservative, but placed under higher 
scrutiny (from GSMA, Samsung and Qualcomm)?

I am still not getting this. For example, you are the owner of both projects. 
Does that mean you are implementing some features in the Android-RCS-IMS-stack 
first and then pushing them to the RCSJTA?

Could it happen that in the future one of the projects would be abandoned and 
all development efforts would be dedicated to only one? Or their development 
would continue to go on in parallel?

RCSJTA is only focused on RCS API standardization for Albatros scope. A second 
step will be to add Blackbird features in the API definition and a last step 
will be to keep only one open source project with a full standardized RCS API.
RCSJTA is the draft version today (working version).
Android-RCS-IMS-stack is the official open source project for us.
