Now I think the ASF is suffering the balkanization of the projects into small islands (maybe the name "jakarta" has implied these kind of things ... ) For example, how about the formation of "Java Liaison Council" "XML Liaison Council" in the ASF? ... Purpose: interchange of personnel, technologies and knowledges among the top level projects which graduated from jakarta or xml tlp, themselves and related projects ... Also, now I am trying to keep the "fresh" news from various projects in the asf @ the top page of jakarta project. "Jakarta" = "Java Portal Site @ the ASF" might be reasonable and make sense from my point of view. I have the same worries as yours, however, I hope things will become better than yesterday. If you have any other *nice* opinions/ideas, please let us know.
