 great :)
 
 looks good but threw up some ideas...
 
  15-1 Any member of the community may propose a new package. To be 
  accepted, a package proposal must receive majority approval of the
  subproject committers and at least one committer must volunteer to serve 
  as an initial package team member. Proposals should identify the 
  rationale for the package, its scope, its interaction with other 
  packages and products, the insert-subproject-name resources, if any, 
  to be created, the initial source from which the package is to be 
  created, and the sponsoring committers.
  
  15-2 The subproject will maintain an svn repository, referred to as the 
  isandbox/i, as a workplace for new packages.  Once approved, new 
  packages must all begin in the sandbox. Any apache committer may 
  contribute code directly to the sandbox and this code may form the 
  initial source for new packages.  Code from existing apache projects 
  can, with the support of the contributing projects, also be imported 
  directly into the sandbox.  Finally, patches contributed incrementally 
  by community members may be committed to the sandox by a subproject 
  committer. If the initial source for a new package is from outside of 
  apache, the new package must be brought into apache via the apache 
  incubator.
 
 not sure but wonder whether we might need to tightening this last
 sentence so that it can't be read as implying that having only a portion
 of the initial source from external sources is ok. opinions?
 
  15-3 A majority vote among subproject commiters is required to 
  graduate a package from the sandbox to become a proper package. Only 
  proper packages may make releases. If a package remains in the sandbox 
  for more than six months, a majority vote will be required to prevent 
  its being archived from svn and removed from the subproject web site and 
  any other public locations (e.g. nightly or continuous integration 
  builds). Proper packages may not release code with dependencies on 
  sandbox packages.
 
 1. i wonder whether it'd be better to have bi-annual reviews to simplify
 administration. in january, review all sandbox components which were
 created before the previous july. could run them as a single vote.
 
 2. i wonder whether we actually need to remove them from svn: just could
 copy them into an archive directory.

I propose we wrap changes in {{{DELETED}}} and {{{/DELETED}}} tags
(or ADDED tags, as appropriate) rather than purely relying on font
minutae. Amongst other things, that will work better for
accessibility. I'm +1.

Does anyone mind?

I went ahead and updated, making some small changes to (hopefully) 
address the points above. I marked the items to be replaced as DELETED 
and added the replacement items at the end. Given that the discussion 
has referenced item numbers, I did not want to mess up the numbering. 
We can reorder as appropriate when the music stops.

I vote for Standard being a separate Jakarta sub-project.

There hasn't being too many messages by the committers lately, specially
