Some of the existing projects within Jakarta are server-side only, others are client-side as well as server-side, none are client-side only. Removing the "server-side" restriction would allow strictly client side applications such as word processors, editors, spread sheet programs, etc. into jakarta. Rewording of the charter is perhaps appropriate but completely removing the "server-side" restriction is not. I consequently vote -1 on the proposed change. >So that Ant, BCEL, and whatever would no longer be out of scope, and we >could also consider client-side Java packages when they are proposed.
