Am kinda thinking it needs a very different kind of pmc/committer model so a new top level project might be simplest.
e.g. any comitter at apache should be pretty much welcome to come in and add a spec or fix any errors in the specs or build system or documentation - as they are generally static and don't change (until a new spec comes along or a spec changes). So its kindof a cross-project project with a low barrier to entry for any apache committer (since no real development happens other than typing in the specs from the javadoc).

I wonder if Jakarta would be willing to mange the specs. When I think of Java at Apache, I think of Jakarta so it seems like a natural place to keep specs. Also Jakarta has experience dealing with lots of small code bases. just an idea... -dain On Jun 7, 2006, at 9:08 AM, James Strachan wrote: > Agreed - I think a shared java spec project makes sense where we can > unify stuff across all projects like jaxb, geronimo-spec, harmony, > servicemix (we've got the JBI API) into one place. > > > On 6/7/06, Guillaume Nodet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> There was a thread about a java spec central repository back in >> december. >> I wish it exists as it would be the best location... >> >> Cheers, >> Guillaume Nodet >> >> Jochen Wiedmann wrote: >> >> > Hi, >> > >> > this is possibly OT, so I apologize in advance.
