None of those resources are good at supplying historical news; apachenews has the common blog problem of a calendar-view being a poor historical index, java.net seems to have no history and theserverside.com uses a linked-list style system to get old news. The last two also have a high noise to signal level for Jakarta info.
As far as apachenews.org is concerned, I can try to create new templates for it.
My target would be a page for a category which showed date breakdown into months which then listed the blog entries.
Jakarta should be linking to:
apachenews.org/archives/cat_apache_jakarta.html
but that should have a calendar breakdown instead of a list of all news ever. Plus we'd have to look at a way to upload old news I think.
e.g. http://www.apachenews.org/archives/cat_apache_jakarta_index.html http://www.apachenews.org/archives/2004_12_index.html
Rather,
http://www.apachenews.org/archives/cat_apache_jakarta_2004_12_index.html
You folks can post "release news" (Alpha/Beta/R.C./FINAL versions) and anything news-worthy upon the apache software foundation related (including jakarta, apache-xml,apache-ws, apache-web-server etc.) projects/products to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yep, the bit I do like is that it's hooked to email :)

By the way: Neither Apache Cocoon nor Apache Forrest was not originated from Jakarta Project AFAIK. (However, they're important because POI, Tapestry and HiveMind are currently using Apache Forrest for building their web sites if I remember correctly.)
Doh :) Will correct this.
Personally, I think it that the history of Jakarta Project (e.g.
There should be a front page link of 'Jakarta History' probably. Explain what has changed etc. I'll add that to the site-wiki plan.
"Apache James moved from Jakarta into TopLevelProject") should appear somewhere in jakarta.a.o. with the definition of Jakarta Related (Personally, I love the concept of "Jakarta FAMILY" -- [1] -- would this concept impose anything mislead upon the users/devs?).
I'm pushing a bit more for [EMAIL PROTECTED] rather than just Jakarta Family. Even though Geronimo didn't come from Jakarta, it had a lot of community share. A year before it would have been in Jakarta.
