True but... In defense of these fellows who are dedicating their time to J2... I have to say - first realize that until the JSR is finalized there are legal implications; in particular the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to consider.
I'd suggest anyone that really wanted earliest access could have joined the JCP as an individual and self-nominated to themselves to the JSR-168. The Pluto code base is under IBM's determination as to who can have access as well as I suppose the JSR member organizations. So we can not beat-up on the Jetspeed team for this since they have no control over the issue. I'm not super familiar with the Apache PMO process, however I have been able to find various information on the proposal in the J2 CVS and on the main apache site - proposals, etc. That said - I agree with the certain overtones of "closed'ness". Let's say that if I donated enormous resources to Apache I might try to throw my weight around a bit. I can't guess what the "behind the scenes" issues are - but if you look at the voting minutes for the JCP there are political / legal considerations it seems. The SCO/Linux pharse I'm sure also has every company that contributes to open initiatives on their toes - double-checking their "i"'s and crossing their "t"'s. So I'd rather /thank/ those working the Pluto proposal and project, and the jetspeed 2 project - I'm sure they are frustrated in not being able to share what they got yet as well. It seems every week or so someone expresses these same frustrations (which I share), but I don't see anything constructive by doing that. > -----Original Message----- > From: Endre Stolsvik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 3:57 AM > To: Jetspeed Users List > Subject: Re: Jetspeed2 planning > > > On Thu, 25 Sep 2003, Weaver, Scott wrote: > > | From what I have heard, it's very close now.
