I don't understand the "we" here - you can focus on what "itch" you have,
and I'll focus on what I think it's the best use of my free time. That's
how open source works.
Right now my interests are:
- jasper improvements ( that is probably usefull for all branches )
- mod_jk improvements ( same )
- reimplementation and optimizations of 3.3 modules ( that will happen in
a contrib area or an external site )
If I can find other commiters to help me - and get the votes that are
needed - this will be part of jakarta-tomcat.
If not - I can do it as a revolution or on source forge.
Of course, it would be great if the code I write would be usefull to more
than tomcat3.3 - so I hope we can find a way to work togheter on code that
is of common interest.
