When we talk about distributed Maven repositories, ASF repositories etc that are related to "Java". I think we should consider that CPAN/CRAN etc are models of distributing such content that have been successful. Given that, I started to research the existence of a CJAN project, and of course, immediately found:
http://www.cjan.org/ Ultimately, I wonder how much "larger" than Apache re such efforts as this? We should seriously consider establishing a "standards" community to establish supporting efforts such as this. CJAN been hard at work with alot of "documentation effort". What are individuals thoughts on this project and its model? http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=41872 I think its important to maintain that its not impossible to attract multiple groups/organizations to such an effort. -- Mark R.
