;) | | "Users believe that "open source" == "change it to do what I want". " ;) | | "The person who does [sic] the work gets to decide." ;) A bit to flame-baitish, yes yes.. But there are two things in that mail: 1) Why not do some grouping of the projects in Jakarta? ( 1b) Maybe not all projects in Jakarta are of the identical importance? I would suppose that the most important project of Jakarta is Tomcat. After that there is definately a lot to argue about, so why not instead try to group the projects a bit. I see that some work is done with the "frontpage", but the "directory" should also have some tune-over.) 2) If a guy that's already within Jakarta decides that he'll make a nice, thight, _small_ little library, it seems like getting it into Jakarta just takes a cvs commit. Even top level. While if fantastically cool projects that are outside of Jakarta wants to get in, it's about impossible. (Corollary (?!): Jon Stevens' vote is about 10 times bigger than everybody elses.) -- Mvh, Endre -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
