Thoughts and Comments:
#1. IMHO, this discussion should be on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and NOT
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I really can't understand why it was sent to PMC@
given all the hoohaah over doing things privately. Sigh. If you are getting
this for the first time, look in the jakarta-commons mailing list archives
for the original proposal. If I have to tell you were the archives are, I'm
going to scream. <smile>
#2. There is no mention in the proposal about what sort of community is
already formed around this software. Is there just one guy working on it?
Remember, we are not a dumping ground.
#3. Where will this project live? Is it a top level project or something
that is under the Jakarta Commons (as suggested by only CC'ing it to the
jakarta-commons mailing list and (3) in the proposal). If it will live under
the Commons project, then why is it a proposal going to the PMC@ mailing
list? I think that this is a decision for the Commons project and not the
overall Jakarta Project.
#3. I'm worried about the name. Given that Sun owns the trademark for "J2EE"
and seem to take it pretty seriously, they *might* have a problem with us
having a product with that in the name...regardless of whether not not it is
legal. Note, I understand he didn't have a problem with it under SF, but the
reality of the matter is that we are in more public view than a SF project
is. Therefore, it matters more.
p.s. Overall, I'm +0 after the above clarifications...
thanks,
-jon
