Is watchdog a regular Jakart project, or does it have a
special Sun/Jakarta status? Jakarta has a process for
decision making at:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/site/guidelines.html

It's a bit painful, and seems like complete overkill for a
project as small as Watchdog, but it's there because
without transparent decision making a project ceases to be
open source.

I know this sounds like some sort of obscure philisophical
point, but it's grounded in some very practical experience
(mine, but more importantly the experience of the people
who set up the Apache organization).

If Watchdog isn't in fact a normal Jakarta project, and
the normal open source guidelines don't apply, then would
it be possible to have that clearly stated somewhere, to
avoid misunderstandings?
