The Jon page completely ignores the concept of a Jakarta project to build a set of protocols under which Jon can act so as to avoid causing riots in first world countries. I would like to propose this as a top level Jakarta project and fully believe its mail list will receive more noise than any other.
The first steps should be to a) Review every Apache mail list discussion concerning Jon, and b) setting up some code to make sure Jon stays subscribed to the list itself. In fact, maybe before a) happens we should be getting some more powerful mail list servers, just in case. Hen On Wed, 17 Jul 2002, Andrew C.
