Gao,
I didn't mean to apply that I "only" need the technical stuff.
I just want to separate the philosophical and marketing postings
from the technical postings. I also get a great deal of knowledge
reading the marketing postings from members of this list at
Oracle, IBM, and Sun and I've been able to initiate one-on-one
conversations with several of them that were even more helpful.
But, it is possible to create separate discussion groups
that are each more appropriate for the areas in which certain of us
are interested, e.g., JSP-Technical, JSP-Marketing, JSP-Philosophical,
JSP-Benchmarks, JSP-Announcements, etc.
Perhaps Ted S. is right that this may be better handled through
USENET newsgroups. Ideally, if some of our corporate partners
such as Sun/Javasoft can step up to the plate to help initiate
this, we could create a more effective forum.
It is clear that many of us have outgrown ASP and are no longer
willing to stake our reputations on platform-dependent,
unscalable architectures. JSP and JSP-related solutions will take
off like a rocket over the next 3-6 months. Having been involved
in standards committees that need a pure technical forum from
time-to-time, I am only suggesting that our moderators consider
the inevitable explosion of the current approach to managing this
list.
