[site] killing vendors page
Still deliberating killing the vendors page. I suggested killing it before, one of the vendors (sorry, can't find your email now) replied very gracefully and I put it on the 'think about later' queue in my head. Analysis of the current vendor page: 3GS LLC - No website at www.3gsllc.com Multitask - Dion's generic support Applied Engineering Software Group - No website at www.aesgi.com Basebeans - No website at www.basebeans.com Cafesoft - Single Sign On J2EE product JAMM - Very generic web support OpenInput - Generic open-source support (I think. Spanish site) OpenWeb - Jyve support :) Sono - generic web dev support, no mention of Jakarta on site Superlink - Andy's general open-source + POI support Tachometry - Generic open-source support (incl Tomcat) XPolog - J2EE Log management product I already removed Ted's Struts support as no longer relevant to Jakarta. Looking at the above, we have 3 dead links, 4 generic open-source support places, 2 J2EE products, 2 general web places and Jyve support, where Jyve is long dead :) Doesn't really seem like a great answer to the original question of showing that there is support for open-source. So this is the usual email: I'll remove vendors.html in 3 days and setup a redirect to mail2.html unless anybody -1's.

Re: [site] killing vendors page
I like having a wiki page for this sort of thing - allow the community itself to maintain such lists.

RE: [site] killing vendors page
I'd suggest that we talk to the PRC about it. There are some good things about a vendors page. Erik makes an interesting point about the Wiki, but it would mean that we couldn't vet it for content to prevent grossly misleading content. --- Noel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
