I don't know how useful this thread has been to everyone else, but it's
been helpful to me because I was starting to feel I misunderstood
the spirit of the Jakarta project.
I think it might be useful to add these extracts from the thread
as addenda to "Creation of subprojects" on
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/management.html
They coincide with what I had understood to be guidelines and
would have relieved my doubts, and presumably those of any future PMC
members.
o We're not a software repository, we're here to host communities
of developers, communities working in our way.
o Don't go chasing projects; let them come to us.
o Projects must have a community that can be supported by an
Apache meritocracy.
o At any time, the majority of committers of a code base may vote
to remove their project from Jakarta.
o Projects should be compatible with the Jakarta mission
(http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mission.html), but not to the point
that a strictly literal interpretation of "server solutions" excludes
projects that meet the criteria of utility, community, and quality.
At any rate, since I've gotten chatty all of a sudden, it must
mean I have some time on my hands, so I think I'll return to a
"less talk, more coding" mode.
