[hopefully all these general emails won't mean that only one turns into a living thread]
I'd like to try and get us moving forward on the Commons charter a bit. It's easy to turn this into a long series of misunderstood arguments, so my first suggestion is hopefully something very unargumentative. [cf http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/charter.html] I'm proposing that we: ** Remove (1.5.2) as it has never happened and is nothing our community is striving to make happen. This also involves a FAQ entry on the directory being removed. Remove (2) as this is not relevant to the charter nowadays, plus it's not even an accurate representation of the original components. If this information is deemed useful, we need to ask Craig to give us another history lesson and make some notes, probably elsewhere. Remove (3) as it is no longer relevant and should be documented in an available resources section. [ie) can a new Commons component use JIRA, where is our wiki etc]. ** I don't believe any of these are too big a deal and getting things moving will give us a foundation for future discussions. I think that a typical 3 +1 and no -1 vote should be fine for such a thing [unless anyone knows of obscure rules], and will plan to send out such a vote on the above if no discussion occurs.
