I object to the paragraphs quoted below about Mark Struberg and Tamaya and suggest removing them, reworking to avoid mentioning names or marking them <private>. Our reports are meant to stay online forever, this excerpt is critical of Mark in a way that's not needed and goes into lots of details about that "alternative JSR" story, which are not relevant IMO about the podling's progress overall. Someone made a proposal, it was not accepted, that person left - that's all typical business in our projects. So maybe just summarize this as "a proposal was made for a different configuration JSR, which the PPMC didn't agree with, resulting in some people leaving the project" or something like that.
