No > jakarta projects include jakarta in their naming scheme. Urf. But ok, noted.

I'm probably missing the same background as I do on reorg@, but here goes: Jakarta is a part of the ASF, therefor anything 'owned' by Jakarta is owned by the ASF (note the quotes around the first owned). I don't see how "org.apache.jakarta" would hurt (apart from the released projects point of view). Or in this case: org.apache.jakarta.commons. > But you'd have to find some aging old-timer from the early days to give > you the 'when I was in the war' story. Would be a good idea. Also to get their opinion on this. Sander
