Hola,
I'm virtually back from vacation ;) Still traveling, but now for business, and
therefore lugging my laptop along. Thank you for the inquiry ;)

Just out of context.. What happened to Yoav?
- Migrate to tomcat.apache.org.
IIRC, we were going to do that after the SVN migration. Mark is doing a great
job with the SVN task, with Henri and infra's help. I'd estimate no more than
another month to complete the SVN migration, right?
The SVN migration for "site" should now be in progress.
- Release a new stable 5.5.x.
Yup. 5.5.11 should be a good step in that direction: I'll download and play
around with it, but I think the changelog looks great in that it's mostly fixes
to known issues, nothing crazy, and therefore should make a good build.
- Implement Servlet API 2.5:
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr154/servlet-2_5-changelog.html
There are few changes, except support for some annotations (which are
optional, but as Tomcat supports all web related optional J2EE features
...). The result would be very similar with Tomcat 5.5, with the
possibility of Java 5 related code cleanups (Servlet API 2.5 mandates
Java 5).
Yes. I have to say I'm happy with the current Servlet 2.5 draft: from our
perspective, it's not much serious new work, we can remove a couple of annoying
special case paths through the code, and we get to dismiss the compat package.
We may want to continue making 5.5 releases for a little while after Tomcat 6.0
is out, as I expect a bunch of users will still using JDK 1.4.
Side note on this: the name for the CVS (or actually, SVN) area for Servlet API
2.5. I'd prefer servletapi-2.5 for clarity, even though it breaks the pattern
of jakarta-servletapi and then jakarta-servletapi-5 that we have used to date.
I agree, it's a very good idea.
- Implement JSP 2.1: it's a significant effort, and the issue is that
there doesn't seem to be anyone available. Any ideas ?
The biggest unaddressed issue on the table at the moment, I agree. I need to
look through the spec draft myself. Are the gurus (kin-man, etc.) not around
and not available to help out?
No idea, but it seems not. MyFaces is going to need the new EL as well.
Also, similar side note on CVS/SVN location: perhaps we put it in jspapi-2.1
instead of servletapi-6?
Right.
