When something graduates from this "Jakarta Sandbox", where does it go? Being a _Jakarta_ sandbox, one might assume that it becomes a Jakarta subproject. But Hen has claimed to want to morph Jakarta into a non-umbrella, and graduating to a new Jakarta subproject would be counter to that goal. On the other hand, if it graduates to somewhere outside of Jakarta, why is the sandbox inside of Jakarta? -- Martin Cooper jakarta's scope is the problem but it's hard to fix for both historic > and community reasons > > - robert > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
