+<section name="The Directory">
+
+<p>
+ In addition to our repository of reusable components (Commons),
+ we also maintain a dynamic catalog of components and resources called
+ the Directory. The Directory lists components in other Jakarta and
+ ASF projects that are also designed for reuse in a manner similar to
+ Commons components. We also accept nominations for components outside
+ of Apache.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ If you would like to nominate a component for inclusion in the
+ Directory, send a note to the <a

+
+<p>
+ This project also contains a workspace that is open to all
+ Jakarta committers. It's a place to try out new ideas and prepare
+ for inclusion into the Commons portion of the project or into another
+ Jakarta project. Users are free to experiment with the components
+ developed in the sandbox, but sandbox components will not necessarily
+ be maintained, particularly in their current state.
