I raised this on priv...@commons and reported back to d...@commons on that discussion here: http://markmail.org/message/lkyjl6gaxawspgdt In summary though, there was very little support to go that route and some objections. All commons components share the same set of mailing lists which makes it easier for PMC members to provide oversight for the 30+ components that live there. As part of this proposal we want to use the commons mailing lists for commits and discussion so that by the time this podling is ready to graduate the new committers and Commons PMC will have a better knowledge of each other and there will be no issue with voting in the new committers. The use of the commons mailing lists is in the proposal and was part of the vote held on d...@commons to sponsor this incubation effort: http://markmail.org/message/mqdft736b5vasezs Niall > ...ant > > [1] > http://apache.markmail.org/search/?q=jsr+303+list%3Aorg.apache.commons.dev#query:jsr%20303%20list%3Aorg.apache.commons.dev%20order%3Adate-backward+page:1+state:facets > > > On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 7:06 AM, Matthias Wessendorf <mat...@apache.org> > wrote: >> Hi, >> >> what about the effort from the Jakarta/Commons Validator community? >> Aren't they doing that as well ?
