In creation of "Jakarta Newsletter Issue 9", I tried several things by way of experiment. 1. Announced to all the -dev list (not cross-post) to solicit contributors 2. Announced here in community@ to solicit contributors 2. Added the list of the "New Committers" -- welcomed to apache.org 3. Added the list of the "products available as of the end of the month" 4. Added various news from jakarta-related 5. Posted the news (articles) here in community@ In this process, I came across many things which should be piled up for the successors as *knowledge*. Also, I think this know-how might be applicable to the "XML-Newsletter"/"Apache-Newsletter"/... Again, I really thank to all the contributors and the predecessors (Rob and Robert). Sincerely, -- Tetsuya ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) P.S. Maybe, in the next newsletter, I can add the *Readers' Opinions* or *Readers' View* subsection (^_^) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
