If the point of this page is to stop posting of project specific products, e.g. Struts IDE, Ant editors, Maven plugins to the project lists, I think it's misguided.
Why? From a project perspective, you will subscribe only to those lists you are interested in. If someone updates vendor.html, noone on the mailing lists will notice, so there will still be a need to post to the mailing list to ensure the project users know. If it's a list of vendors using jakarta or selling services, fine. But let's be clear about what it is. Up until now, I think Struts is the only project that lists external resources/consultants/companies that support the product. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Work: http://www.multitask.com.au Developers: http://adslgateway.multitask.com.au/developers <costinm@coval ent.net> To: Jakarta General List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: 05/15/02 06:49 Subject: Re: [Actual Action Taken] Re: Advertisement using Apache AM lists Please respond to "Jakarta General List" Is this for any vendor who wants free ads, or only for companies that support Apache projects ( and pay the salary for apache commiters ) ? I think it would be fair and nice if projects would include such a page in the releases, maybe next to the list of commiters who wrote the code. Costin On 14 May 2002, Andrew C.
