As already noted, that can be done via the user home directory on people. As I already wrote, having formal releases of Labs code will effectively turn it into an umbrella TLP, with absolutely no common theme between projects. Is that really what we want to create? If so, let's restart Jakarta and give it a wider scope. > There are some signs that some Labs PMC people are starting to think > this might be ok, i think its just going to take some time. I think it's a bad idea, unless we really want an umbrella PMC.
