Perhaps, but if so, not by much (I didn't say IMO, because I think that this
whole discussion is one of personal opinion). And I am not anti-Jakarta.
It just seems encumbered by size.

Agreed. Other candidates that have been suggested by one person or another
include:
Turbine
Velocity
Lucene (or to db.apache.org?)
Struts

I don't doubt it, and the proof ought to be in the ones that have already
done so. I do ask if the PMC doing anything to help encourage other
projects to matriculate? I must stress that is a question, not a backhanded
