My aim for Jakarta is to either promote subprojects to TLP or flatten them into Jakarta Commons, leading to a non-umbrella Jakarta (I know, you didn't think you'd see it in your lifetime). This new Jakarta would have the potential to serve two roles: 1) Place for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to share conversation [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) Place for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to share code [Jakarta Commons] Storing the spec source there would be good for everyone I think; it would help bring people to Jakarta to share code and conversation, and the Commons community would make good stewards for the code if the various owners departed. Some other pluses are that it would help be a part of an attempt to rejuvenate Jakarta in 2006 (as a kind of federation) and that non-JCP specs could be stored there too. Not trying to intrude on the JCP stuff though, so I can see if it's preferred to keep things under a strictly JCP-oriented environment. Hen On Tue, 27 Dec 2005, Alan D.
