I'd be happy to see this happen. I'm not overly concerned about developing non-Java specs in the same space. I don't see that there is a lot that those communities would have in common with other specs communities (other than practices which we could share). The only example I can think of currently is stdcxx and that is certainly large enough for its own tlp. > Or [EMAIL PROTECTED] if the Incubator wants to hear about it later > rather than sooner ;) Actually, I don't know why the incubator is involved at all. We're not talking about starting anything new - code is moving from other places (most of which has already had releases) and should be bringing people with it. Is there a concern that a community won't be formed? If that happened, the code would still have to go back to the original projects anyway as they need it. I think te worst case is that it becomes a set of specs with no other interaction with parts of Jakarta - which is exactly what we have now. I think the Jakarta PMC is equipped to deal with it on its own.
