My thoughts are that we can drop JServ as a requirement.
+1 dropping JServ
JSDK 2.1 as the lowest spec number we should support
+1
Where I am coming from... I will not be deploying any large scale apps
built on Jetspeed until 2001 probably not until after June at the
earliest. This means the current state of Tomcat is irrelevant for me.
What is relevant is where Tomcat will be then. By that time I fully expect
that Tomcat will be THE OSS servlet engine and JServ will not be actively
maintained...
