I'm not familiar with how expert groups work on a jsr. Will you all be carrying out your work in public with everyone able to participate, or will you be going off behind closed doors (private mail list)?

A good point for this JSR is the intent to run it in an open source way. I'm planning to maintain an implementation prototype based on NRE along the way so that Restlet users can experiment with the annotations and report how the JSR draft works for them.
