Because resource information for projects that have moved away are no longer found on the Jakarta site. For example, going to the Jakarta mailing lists page is not going to help you find information on the Struts mailing lists. I believe the distinction is important to helping users find what they're looking for. > Unless and until Jakarta can become a Java portal @ Apache we have to deal > with this though.

We (meaning Hen ;) just got done cleaning up a bunch of "related" links that didn't seem particularly coherent, so I'd be against putting it right back again. ;-) > Also, I don't see any need to use a noun/subheadings here. For me, 'Related' > on its own would be a sufficient defintion. I suggested "Alumni" but I don't think I got any takers. It seemed like the logical noun to replace "Graduated" to me. IMO, "Related" is too broad, and it was being misused before. -- Martin Cooper > Stephen > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
