This lists the issues currently facing Jakarta.
Priority last quarter:
Using LGPL'd code. Also LGPL with Hibernate clause, LGPL with Classpath exception and MPL.
Priority this quarter:
Lucene to TLP - Lucene promotion to TLP
JCS to SLP - JCS promotion to SLP
Migrating to Subversion. - In progress.
Improved quality of releases?
Remove dead mail list. JServ mentioned on mail2.html but seems dead.
Archive dormant codebases. Alexandria, Watchdog, java@ code (find this stuff first).
Migrate jetspeed mail+cvs and log4j cvs out of jakarta space.
Fix mail archives for ecs-dev and oro-user mail lists.
Decide how to manage quieter/hibernated subprojects better. Alexandria, BCEL, BSF, ORO, Regexp, Watchdog all fit the bill. - BCEL has been resuscitated
Security process. Is it obvious how security problems are handled? Do we have active security liaisons per subproject?
Less essential:
Wiki vandalism. Are all our wiki's monitored by a mailing list? Need a jakarta-wiki page to point to the sub-wikis - Jakarta wiki page exists now
List moderation coverage. - Got a report on these, a few lesser used lists might need covering
ASF Licence 2.0. Any major work left to do? Need a script to check that no ASL 1.0's exist in CVS.
Dealt with:
The charter is out of date and needs much discussion. - An update has now been made to the charter.
Need to continue adding to the PMC. - The PMC size now seems to cover the projects well and should be adding people one at a time as they are nominated.
Jakarta-Commons/ASF-Commons confusion. - ASF Commons is now dead.
Obtaining a site-wide licence for Clover. - DONE - cvs:committers/donated-licenses/clover
Downloads pages are difficult to use. -- Some irritation over JDK 1.5/1.4 issues, but done
