This does look to be a february item... I'm inclined to hang onto it for next time but if people disagree then we can whack it in. Thanks, Rob Daniel F.

The Jakarta developers seemed united in preferring mailing lists and pointed out archives [3] and services such as gmane [4] for more casual use of the lists. The Pluto subproject was proposed as a reference implementation of the Portlet API and was heavily discussed [5]. Relating to the portals theme, Charon was propsed ro implement the Web Services for Remote specification, although this recieved only a little discussion [6,7]. Dani Estermann asked for some advice on choosing a logging stratergy for future code. Some advocated using the JDK logging if Java 1.4 was guarenteed, others recommended using Log4j whatever the situation. It was also suggested that the use of a facade such as commons-logging should be limitted to situations where chioce is needed. Browse the archive for further detail [8]. Is it time for a new look Jakarta? Maybe a unified Apache site look and feel? Christoph Wilhelms suggested the use of his FakeForrest skin to give Jakarta a facelift [9].

Re: [DRAFT1] Jakarta Newsletter - January 2003
Okay people time to add your stuff. As per usual I've CCd the previous contributers in the hope that they'll either contribute again or talk someone on their projects into taking over. If you want to write up the months gossip for a project then send it to me and I'll include it, its probably best to let the appropriate dev list know so that duplicated work can be avoided. I'm going to be offline for the next week so won't be able to respond to questions or conrtibutions but I'm sure people on the general list will be able to resolve any issues. I'll aim to collate all the input on the afternoon of the 9th and post another draft then. Thanks in advance, Rob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Commons HttpClient Release 2.0 Alpha 2! After many months and a great resurgence of developers, the new build of /HttpClient/ is finally here. The new group of developers has done extensive refactoring to move the project along the new vision. The code base has reached a significant level of maturity and we expect that another released build (possibly a beta) will be ready near the end of February Also check out the new /HttpClient/ logo on the website created by Jeff Dever with the Gimp! http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/ Rob Oxspring wrote: Jakarta Newsletter == Issue: 7 Date: January 2003 Url: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/200301.html TODO Contents General Lucene General === Ideas, suggestions, and comments on the overall Jakarta project Editor: Rob Oxspring Robert Simmons kicked of a debate over the use of forum software to make it easier for users to get involved with jakarta subprojects [1,2].
