My suggestion was to merge the Jakarta subprojects into the Commons, not the other way around. * The remaining subprojects all seem to be "reusable components" within the scope of the Commons charter. * If the remaining subprojects join the Jakarta Commons, then we could then ask the board to re-establish the Jakarta PMC, using the list suggested in the draft resolution as the initial PMC. * The extended Commons group then becomes the new Jakarta PMC. * The <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/index.html> page becomes the Jakarta home page, and we change the first sentence there to read "The Jakarta Commons project is focused on all aspects of reusable Java components.". In the alternative, without an anchor subproject, or a ready initiative to promote Java at Apache, realistically, Jakarta whithers away. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
