I am not really sure how to solve this. I am just ranting. For a few

in at least jakarta commons surely deserves it (not looking into the
naming problem for now). Having a few more toplevel projects could
help to strip down the "general" jakarta PMC a bit ...and maybe then
the committer == PMC idea is more suitable ...maybe let's get a
smaller umbrella ;-)
The problem with moving Commons up is that when you look at where Jakarta
needs to go, and when you look at where Commons generally is now; they are
the same places - and it's hard to distinguish between the focuses.
Jakarta needs a way to blend community oversight with small numbers of
active committers per component. That's pretty much Commons. For a start,
I would merge BCEL, BSF, ECS, JCS, ORO and Regexp dev lists into either
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Alexandria dies. POI should go to TLP - if it's not too inactive.
That leaves Cactus, JMeter, Slide, Turbine, Velocity, HttpComponents,
Taglibs. The latter three should follow Commons into flattening into
Jakarta. One bit that will be interesting there is parent-poms in m2 - a
flat Jakarta would not have Commons, HttpComponents, Velocity parent pom
files. Velocity seems like it can flatten, but I might be lacking enough
knowledge there.
Unsure on the first 4 in the list above - keep them separate for the
moment until ideas grow. Slide seems too inactive to go anywhere, we could
put together a Testing space within Jakarta as a prototype for the
testing.apache.org if people wanted to explore that, Turbine I've no clue
on how well it can flatten.
1) BCEL, BSF, ECS, JCS, ORO and Regexp dev lists merging
2) Alexandria dies
3) POI to TLP
4) Consider merging user lists from 1)
5) Flatten HttpComponents, Velocity, Taglibs.
Some mad ideas :)
