Hi, Alan.
Before I consider initiating the CFV, I have one question. Is JDBC
really considered part of "Core Libraries"? We want to make sure
that "Core Libraries" does not become the catch-all for APIs that
don't belong anywhere else.
You are right and that is the real question. It would be extending the
scope because JDBC isn't really related to any of the feature areas
currently listed on the group page.
Originally when we rolling out the content for core-libs pages I had
sent JDBC info for inclusion on that page last March. It made sense as
I dotted line report into the core libs manager.
It was decided in previous discussions that JDBC did not warrant its
own group on OpenJDK and why i had sent the info for inclusion on the
core libs page.
As far as I know Lance already has all the privileges necessary to
enhance JDBC, including commit rights. What additional benefits
would becoming a member of Core Libraries confer on him?
Yes, I believe he has push-rights so this isn't an issue. I'm sorta
the messenger here, not the campaign manager :-) so I'll have to
defer to Lance on this.
This is a core Java API as everything talks to a database so it should
have a voice/home in OpenJDK :-)

Lance
