Robert,

The initial committers will be identical to those of the Standard Taglib
project.
i'm unhappy with this since it implies that all current taglib committers
will be grandfathered in. a list of the people being proposed would be
much better.
OK, I've set the list of initial committers to include the following
names:
Shawn Bayern
Nathan Abramson
Pierre Delisle
Hans Bergsten
Justyna Horwat
Craig R. McClanahan
Jan Luehe
I've also removed jakarta-commons-el from 3.1.
The mailing list to be used shall be jakarta-commons.
Attached is the updated proposal.

Proposal for JSP 2.0 Expression Language Interpreter Package
(0) Rationale
The JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), version 1.0, introduced the concept
of an Expression Language (EL), whose main goal is to provide page
authors with an easy way to access and manipulate application data
without requiring the use of scriptlets
JSP 2.0 adopted the EL specification from JSTL, and expanded its scope:
EL expressions are no longer limited to JSTL action attributes, but may
be used in any standard or custom action attribute declared to accept a
runtime expression. In addition, EL expressions may now also be used
directly in template text outside of any actions. JSP 2.0 also added an
important feature to the EL specification: EL functions, which allow page
authors to invoke static methods in Java classes from EL expressions.
Additionally, JSP 2.0 allows programmatic access and customization of the
EL evaluator through a set of standard interfaces and abstract classes.
Currently, there are a number of projects (including Tomcat 5 and Java
Server Faces) that leverage the EL implementation of the Standard Taglib.
In addition, there seems to be interest in leveraging the EL in the
context of scripting workflow activities using custom tag libraries.
In order to make the EL implementation available to Tomcat 5, the Tomcat
team defined a new "ant" target for the Standard Taglib that builds just
the EL portion and packages it in a JAR file ("jsp20el.jar") which is
stored in Tomcat's common/lib directory. This approach has always been
considered an interim solution only, until the EL implementation would
move from the Standard Taglib to a more visible location such as
jakarta-commons.
(1) Scope of the package
The package shall provide an implementation of the Expression Language
specification which is part of the JSP 2.0 standard.
(1.5) Interaction with other packages
The package shall provide an implementation of the standard interfaces
and abstract classes of the javax.servlet.jsp.el package, which is
defined in the JSP 2.0 specification.
(2) Identify the initial source for the package
The initial codebase will be taken from the Standard Taglib project
hosted at jakarta-taglibs. The source of the Standard Taglib is available
as part of the jakarta-taglibs nightly source distribution.
(2.1) Identify the base name for the package
The base name of the package shall be org.apache.commons.el
(2.2) Identify the coding conventions for this package
The package follows Sun's Java coding conventions.
(3) Identify any Jakarta-Commons resources to be created
(3.1) Mailing list
The package shall use the jakarta-commons mailing list.
(3.2) CVS repositories
The package shall use a root branch of the jakarta-commons CVS.
(3.3) Bugzilla
The package shall be listed as the "EL" component under the "Commons"
project in Bugzilla.
