-Where- are these things going on?
Hi Endre,
Hope you are doing well :-)
The Jakarta PMC
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/whoweare.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/management.html
I am a member.
The PMC meeting minutes are made public, but I haven't seen where the
PMC mailing list discussions are made public
That would be a good subject to discuss on the Jakarta General list
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#General
The Pluto project charter can be found here:

How much "behind the scenes" is to be expected from an -OPEN SOURCE-
organization like Apache?
Thats a good question.
IMO Pluto should have been accepted into Jakarta's incubator weeks ago.
However because one member of the PMC felt strongly about keeping Pluto
out of Jakarta, the process was slowed down to a halt.
Im learning that there are politics in open source and that the open
source process can be abused just like any other open process.
The important thing is that it is a democratic process, by elected PMC
voting members representing their Jakarta sub-projects, and we did
achieve over 3/4 +1 votes to accept Pluto into Jakarta incubation.
Pluto is now in Sam Ruby's hands to create the CVS and mailing lists.
I imagine he will have that completed any day now.
