Well, I follow the discussion quite for a while and anything was already said or proposed by other people and I could not add something new. So I limited myself to vote. > It would be sad if people who have an opinion choose not to express it > in a thread explicity about the future of Jakarta on the pmc list > just because it may have already been expressed in Commons dev or poi > dev or wherever else.

So, here you do imply something ;-) But to recap, we had 1/ Open-up Jakarta to all committers, was vetoed 2/ Merge commons into Jakarta, was vetoed 3/ Move commons into own TLP, was vetoed So what's left in your opinion? I don't buy the Jakarta=Java-Portal solution, since I believe it fails the doing. Option 2 would have been my personal choice, since - we keep the brand - we state that we're Java centric - we wrap a greater community about "matured/left-over/maintained only" components Any Jakarta project that feels uneasy because it - has an isolated community - has a broader scope than "Java" should consider a TLP Option 3 from above was raised, because 2 did not make it and it would have forced the Jakarta left behind projects to make a real statement of their own. Now we're stuck to the status-quo and I see no way out of it anymore (<sarcasm>or should we try to start a vote on those issues in periodic times of 6 months unless one of it passes?</sarcasm>).
