I have created a poll in the Jetspeed Portal group on LinkedIn to confirm the
acceptability of the Jetspeed Roadmap.
Please visit http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Jetspeed-Portal-3347198 and let
David know whether you support the roadmap or have some topics that you want
considered.
If you do not vote for the Roadmap, please add a comment to the Roadmap
discussion at

While I think it is great to see the roadmap being discussed, I *strongly*
disagree with this happening outside the Jetspeed mailing list(s).
I don't think there is anything wrong with the LinkedIn group, but it shouldn't
replace the community participation here.
An important 'rule' at Apache is:
"if it didn't happen on the list, it didn't happen at all"
So, anything which is discussed (and maybe even decided) externally (LinkedIn,
Skype, f2f, whatever) which would be of importance to this community should be
(also) reported/mirrored on the list.
Also note that the ASF mailing lists are archived (for ever) so even future
community members can review and find back old arguments, discussions, choices
made. Using external 'sources' like LinkedIn groups or whatever, cuts out both
current *and* future community members.

Ron, please don't take my remarks above as critique on *what* you are trying to
do. I really think it is great you're trying to renew the community.
My remark only concerns the *how*.
Kind regards, Ate
Show some love!
Ron
