One of the outcomes of the PMC meeting on Tuesday (you will see the minutes published shortly) involves increasing the amount of open communication on general Jakarta issues that do not involve a few specific issues that require confidential discussions. The forum in which these discussions will be taking place is the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. If you are interested in such issues, I would encourage you to subscribe to this list (send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). As examples of this approach, several message threads have been started to discuss changes and refinements to the voting rules, release planning requirements, and sharing of code across individual code base subprojects. If you care about such issues, be sure to subscribe to GENERAL and participate. In the past, the GENERAL mailing list has been rather unfocused, and questions better directed at one of the user lists (like TOMCAT-USER) have been discussed there. These types of queries should be (gently :-) redirected to the appropriate place, so that GENERAL can be used to discuss community-wide issues.
