Hi, Perhas a better idea would be to get some space on main website where people could advertise that they supply support for various Jakarta projects or whatever. That way people have a central location to go to get info on commercial support and all that. Theres a whole bunch of people that do support/contract/consulting on jakarta stuff and it could end up extremely noisy if done on list.
I would prefer that general remain about community/organisational/etc issues across the whole jakarta project. Keep noise signal to noise ratio as high as we can I say.
