AFAIK, whether a codebase lives in the sandbox, or elsewhere, doesn't matter. The same rules for creating a Commons package apply. A sandbox package can be proposed to any Jakarta subproject (not just the Commons). See the Commons charter http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/charter.html If the codebase is maturing, and is ready to promote to the larger community, you might consider a "Call for Volunteers" describing the package, and what you see as its future direction. My personal criteria is that since our codebases use Apache Software Foundation resources, they should speak to the ASF mission, and be able to "... exist beyond the participation of individual volunteers". So it's important that there be a community of volunteers (however small) behind a package, and that is has the potential of attracting other volunteers if needed. > 2) the general direction of Jakarta The general direction of the Commons is always a good topic here :), but the general direction of Jakarta is a better topic for the General list.
