You did actually create a sourceforge project for this joke ?

Hi All,
I'm pleased to finally propose the SuperXMailer for Jakarta via the
incubator. I'd like for the Jakarta PMC/committers to vote a tacit
approval of the project before we work on acceptance into the
incubator. I'm sure that despite the inevitable controversy, folks will
see a true value in this project and its active community.
Unfortunately the source repository and mail archives are down at the
moment, but I'm sure they'll be restored soon.
Note that there is also something strange with the bug database. We now
have email deobfuscation which defeats schemes like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and such, as well as acoliver at apache
dot org. No worries, the mail will be harvested and get through!
Thanks for your consideration. Please feel free to submit your vote in
advance.

[0] rationale
SuperXMailer, the project hosted at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/superxmailer/ is a tool for harvesting
email addresses from web pages and mail lists, storing them in any
database or XML file, and sending them email addresses. It features
opt-out lists, email verification and much more.
The project is the creation of a number of Apache committers and is run
as a meritocratic community-developed project.
Presently the CVS repository and mail lists are down (as of 3/30), but
we have opened up a support request and will have it up again soon.
[0.1] criteria
Meritocracy: SuperXMailer follows the Apache meritocracy rules, with a
core of committers including ASF members.
Community: SuperXMailer has a modest, but very active community. Its
users are very pleased with its performance and capture capabillities.
Core Developers. SuperXMailer has an active and dedicated team of
committers. The project was founded by Andrew C. Oliver, who is
extremely dedicated to SuperXMailer and authored the majority of the
codebase. Nicola Ken Barrozzi and Glen Stampoultzis are frequent
contributors of components and bug fixes as well as some significant
extensions. Sam Ruby has offered to provide Web Services extensions via
Axis.
Alignment: SuperXMailer makes use of Lucene, POI, Struts, Velocity, Turbine, Xerces, Tomcat and Xalan.
Scope: SuperXMailer is entirely a server-side application, well aligned
with the overall goals of the Jakarta project.
[1] scope of subproject
The project shall create and maintain packages written in the Java
programming language constituting the framework, management tools,
search/database and mailer, a standard library of additional components,
documentation, a web site and additional examples.
[2] identify the initial source from which the project is to be populated
The project currently resides on the SourceForge (http://tapestry.sf.net).
[3] identify the Jakarta resources to be created
[3.1] mailing lists(s)
superx-user superx-dev
[3.2] CVS repositories
jakarta-superx
[3.3] Bugzilla
framework - superx components - web site, contrib library, documentation, examples
[3.4] Wiki
The SuperXMailer developers would like to make use of the ApacheWiki in
order to facillitate the admittedly spartan documentation. However, its
extremely easy to use. Many Apache committers have received mail from
persons using it with great results.

welcome to add their name here)
