Did some of you ever think that Tomcat could became a direct Apache subproject, like ant ?
It seems Maven follow the same way.
As such having Tomcat as a direct Apache projects will allow a Tomcat PMC ?
Costin, Remy, other commiters, what do you think ?
I'm personally -1 ( quite strongly ), but if the majority believes otherwise I can change my vote to -0.
I think jakarta is a good home for tomcat, and it's getting better.
Most projects that are still in jakarta are 'close' enough to tomcat - taglibs, struts, commons, slide, velocity/turbine, log4j, etc - we do have a lot of things in common and I think we would benefit far more from staying close to those projects and sharing the same community.
My understanding is that Jakarta will move into this direction - to become a single community, with most committers in the jakarta PMC. It'll
mean that struts or taglib committers will be able to vote or even commit
code to tomcat. ( key committers from all other projects already do ).
I think this is great, and I hope that one day we'll have one "jakarta"
release with all the technology that remains part of jakarta. Beeing in
the same community can only increase the quality of the code and
the cross-polination.
Of course - this is majority vote, and I have only one vote.
Regarding PMC - there are already quite a few tomcat committers in
jakarta PMC, and the intention is to get everyone who is active.
Last round included release managers from all jakarta projects -
but the process just started.
BTW - we can leave at any time, I think it may be worth it to see how this "big community" works out.
I agree with you jakarta community is larger and better to keep in touch with it.
I wanted to get opinions since being a Top Project seems to be in 'the air du temp' (ant/maven...)
