Any idea how exactly the java trademark works with respect to our usage of it? For example, if we're talking about language based portals/foundries, can we actually call it the 'Apache Java Portal'? Or some such. How do Sourceforge get away with: http://java.foundries.sourceforge.net/ ? Presum

Hell ya. We can start this right away. Great idea, Geir. "Now why didn't I think of that?" :-) Cheers, -g p.s. note that Jakarta acting as a Java-based codebase federation is a separate matter; the J PMC can deal with that... On Tue, Dec 23, 2003 at 09:12:34PM -0500, Geir Magnusson Jr wrote: >

Why don't the various commons groups in the ASF just have the AC PMC add things on the A-C site and 'federate' that way? The respective PMCs would still do what they do - oversee the projects - and the AC PMC can maintain the website. geir On Dec 23, 2003, at 4:44 PM, Noel J. Bergman wrote:

Virtual Commons!!!!! (was Re: What is Jakarta Commons?)

2003-12-23 Thread Mark R. Diggory
Hello all, The ultimate goal of any "Commons" is to develop a shared codebase of components that are not large enough to be maintained on their own, and reduce "replication of functionality" in separate projects. This is not only "integral" to a healthy developing codebase at Apache, it is nec

The shortfall with this idea is that most projects that have established thier own TLP are also maintaining thier own virtual host name. maven.apache.org ant.apache.org cocoon.apache.org how would these relate to java.apache.org? Do they drop thier indepenendent host names for java.apache.org/m
