This not a topic that anyone wants to bring up:
Should jakarta.apache.org be changed to xyz.apache.org?
Tomcat and Struts are better types names.
Jakarta name has a a bit of political connotations, some PHB might see 
as negtaive and has had for about a year now.
A non city name would be better.
You think Jakarta has greater potential for misunderstanding than 
Apache?

Re: Apache != HTTPD

So... We are using Apache, that is really Apache Hutpud, but you cannot 
write hutpud because it confuses people about the Apache Software 
Foundation, which develops much more than hutpud. This is even worse =)
Spoken out loud, I use Apache Web Server and in writing I use Apache 
HTTPD.  Once the context is clear (that I am referring to the software 
and not the organization), I typically shorten it to just Apache if I 
have to refer to it again.

Much agreed, and ideally we could rebrand the HTTPD project as just
that, 'HTTPD'. No Apache prefix, as you're right, none of the other
projects use the Apache prefix (maybe because it's already taken by
HTTPD?).


Wasn't that the name of the original NCSA web server?

I'm at JavaOne following the fun around java.net and java.com.
Lucky!

This morning I learned more about the new developer portal 
http://www.java.net. The site is edited by Tim O'Reilly and the chief 
web dog is James. Tim describes himself as the Colonel Sanders of the 
site, he jokes that it's really a group of O'Reilly Associates editors 
that will be editing the site. From what I've learned java.net is a 
private-labeled version of SourceForge with a bunch of new bells and 
whistles added (blogs, wikis, forums.) So it is open for anyone to host 
a public project, open-source projects included.
Sounds like another place where projects can gestate, developing a 
community, before applying for admission to Jakarta...

Don't read me wrong: I'm on the JBoss-side on this, in that *the 
project* should be able to present itself on a JUG event.
This is an interesting discussion.  The New England JUG recently hosted 
Bill Burke, Chief Architect of JBoss Group LLC 
(http://www.nejug.org/2003/apr03.jsp) to talk about JBoss.  With the 
exception of some (deservedly) proud comments evangelizing the JBoss/JMX 
design, Burke's talk was purely technical.  The only time that the 
notion of JBoss Group LLC came into the picture was when someone asked 
if the slides would be made available online, and Burke explained that 
they would not, as they were directly taken from JBoss Group's 
instructional materials (which they sell).

I'm genuinely curious where to draw the line between the project and the 
business in this context.



Erik

PS: Although I hadn't considered this until I read the posted link, I 
found it strange that the talk was held at an alternate location 
(normally NEJUG meetings are held at the nearby Burlington Sun campus). 
 Now I can take a guess as to why.

Hi All,

I'm pleased to finally propose the SuperXMailer for Jakarta via the 
incubator.  I'd like for the Jakarta PMC/committers to vote a tacit 
approval of the project before we work on acceptance into the 
incubator.  I'm sure that despite the inevitable controversy, folks will 
see a true value in this project and its active community.  
+1 if I could just think of a BUSINESS PROPOSAL that could put this to 
use
