-
-<p>(** implies report based on the mailing lists by the chair) </p>
-
-<u>Alexandria **</u>
-
-<p>(dormant project) </p>
-
-<u>BCEL **</u>
-
-<p>User list is active, Dev list is less so. </p>
-
-<u>BSF **</u>
-
-<p>Again, User list is active, Dev list is less so. </p>
-
-<u>Cactus **</u>
-
-<p>User list very active, dev list very quiet, mainly automated emails. I believe a Cactus-2 is in the planning. </p>
-
-<u>Commons **</u>
-
-<p>Commons has, as always, been very active. Outside of the components themselves, work over the last quarter has gone into the build and site generation system using Maven. Chain was promoted from the Sandbox to Commons Proper. </p>
-
-<u>Commons HttpClient</u>
-
- <p>2.0.1 and 3.0 alpha 2 releases are planned for the near future. HttpClient plans to move to the Jakarta level after version 3.0. </p>
-
-<u>ECS **</u>
-
-<p>The developer list has been quiet for the last quarter. Occasional questions are asked on the user list. </p>
-
-<u>HiveMind</u>
-
-<p>HiveMind is moving steadily towards an initial beta release. </p>
-
-<u>JMeter **</u>
-
-<p>Very active user and dev lists. The JMeter sub-community appears to be busily working on bugfixing. </p>
-
-<u>Lucene</u>
-
-<p>Lucene 1.4 Final has been released. </p>
-
-<u>ORO</u>
-
-<p>Pattern matching engine factories were added in response to needs expressed by Commons, including a wrapper for J2SE 1.4 java.util.regex. Also, subpackages were separated out into separate jars for users who need only one pattern matching engine and are sensitive to jar file size. A combined jar with everything is still provided as users fall into two camps on this issues. More discussion of ORO has occurred on commons-dev than on oro-dev recently. There's no ETA for the next release, which will probably be version 2.1. </p>
-
-<u>POI</u>
-
-<p>Work on the next release of POI has been ongoing, but no release date has been set. </p>
-
-<u>Regexp</u>
-
-<p>Nothing happened this month. No release date for the next release, 1.4, has been set. </p>
-
-<u>Slide</u>
-
-<p>Slide 2.1 release is under preparation including lots of nice new features. A first beta is to be expected in August. CVS will branch with the release of this beta. </p>
-
-<u>Taglibs **</u>
-
-<p>The sub-community is largely dealing with user queries concerning JSTL and the Standard tag-library, Apache's implementation of JSTL. A new version of the String taglib was released in May. A new sandbox taglib, datagrid, was also added in May. </p>
-
-<u>Tapestry</u>
-
-<p>Work on the next release of Tapestry, Tapestry 3.1, based on a new infrastructure provided by HiveMind, has begun. In addition, some annoyances in the final Tapestry 3.0 release may result in a 3.0.1 bugfix release. </p>
-
-<u>Tomcat</u>
-
-<p>The Tomcat CVS has branched, creating a TOMCAT_5_0 branch for continuing maintenance on Tomcat 5.0.x releases, and allowing work on Tomcat 5.1 to begin. For some discussion about Tomcat 5.1 features and changes, search the tomcat-dev mailing list archives for threads whose subject contains "5.next." </p>
-
-<u>Turbine</u>
-
-<p>To make the creation of Web applications using Turbine easier, a plugin for Maven has been designed and is currently tested in the 2.3 branch of the Turbine framework. Some work towards the 2.4 release is going on, but no release date has been set. </p>
-
-<u>Velocity </u>
-
-<p>Both user and dev lists are active, but project is stable and widely used. </p>
-
-<p>Upcoming plan is to release a new core 1.4.1 because of a non-backwards compatible change made to in the 1.4 release that prevents people from using a 'word' token in a directive other than in #macro() call or a #foreach(). This bit users of the Webwork framework (and probably others) and will revert back with a log notice that the feature is deprecated. </p>
-
-<p>After that is planned the core 1.5 release of current features in CVS, and then a large pile of new features in patch form including floating-point support as core 1.6. </p>
-
-<p>The Tools part of the project is at version 1.1. </p>
-
-<u>Watchdog</u>
-
-<p>The PMC discussed the status of Watchdog. It is a dormant project with no active committers. However, it is still used by Tomcat as part of Tomcat's release testing. In addition, the PMC would like to retain the option of future work on Watchdog, so the web site and accompanying materials will not be removed. A dormancy notice has been placed on the Watchdog web page and the mailing list subscription links replaced with a note to use general@jakarta. </p>

+
+<p>(** implies report based on the mailing lists by the chair) </p>
+
+<u>Alexandria **</u>
+
+<p>(dormant project) </p>
+
+<u>BCEL **</u>
+
+<p>User list is active, Dev list is less so. </p>
+
+<u>BSF **</u>
+
+<p>Again, User list is active, Dev list is less so. </p>
+
+<u>Cactus **</u>
+
+<p>User list very active, dev list very quiet, mainly automated emails. I believe a Cactus-2 is in the planning. </p>
+
+<u>Commons **</u>
+
+<p>Commons has, as always, been very active. Outside of the components themselves, work over the last quarter has gone into the build and site generation system using Maven. Chain was promoted from the Sandbox to Commons Proper. </p>
+
+<u>Commons HttpClient</u>
+
+ <p>2.0.1 and 3.0 alpha 2 releases are planned for the near future. HttpClient plans to move to the Jakarta level after version 3.0. </p>
+
+<u>ECS **</u>
+
+<p>The developer list has been quiet for the last quarter. Occasional questions are asked on the user list. </p>
+
+<u>HiveMind</u>
+
+<p>HiveMind is moving steadily towards an initial beta release. </p>
+
+<u>JMeter **</u>
+
+<p>Very active user and dev lists. The JMeter sub-community appears to be busily working on bugfixing. </p>
+
+<u>Lucene</u>
+
+<p>Lucene 1.4 Final has been released. </p>
+
+<u>ORO</u>
+
+<p>Pattern matching engine factories were added in response to needs expressed by Commons, including a wrapper for J2SE 1.4 java.util.regex. Also, subpackages were separated out into separate jars for users who need only one pattern matching engine and are sensitive to jar file size. A combined jar with everything is still provided as users fall into two camps on this issues. More discussion of ORO has occurred on commons-dev than on oro-dev recently. There's no ETA for the next release, which will probably be version 2.1. </p>
+
+<u>POI</u>
+
+<p>Work on the next release of POI has been ongoing, but no release date has been set. </p>
+
+<u>Regexp</u>
+
+<p>Nothing happened this month. No release date for the next release, 1.4, has been set. </p>
+
+<u>Slide</u>
+
+<p>Slide 2.1 release is under preparation including lots of nice new features. A first beta is to be expected in August. CVS will branch with the release of this beta. </p>
+
+<u>Taglibs **</u>
+
+<p>The sub-community is largely dealing with user queries concerning JSTL and the Standard tag-library, Apache's implementation of JSTL. A new version of the String taglib was released in May. A new sandbox taglib, datagrid, was also added in May. </p>
+
+<u>Tapestry</u>
+
+<p>Work on the next release of Tapestry, Tapestry 3.1, based on a new infrastructure provided by HiveMind, has begun. In addition, some annoyances in the final Tapestry 3.0 release may result in a 3.0.1 bugfix release. </p>
+
+<u>Tomcat</u>
+
+<p>The Tomcat CVS has branched, creating a TOMCAT_5_0 branch for continuing maintenance on Tomcat 5.0.x releases, and allowing work on Tomcat 5.1 to begin. For some discussion about Tomcat 5.1 features and changes, search the tomcat-dev mailing list archives for threads whose subject contains "5.next." </p>
+
+<u>Turbine</u>
+
+<p>To make the creation of Web applications using Turbine easier, a plugin for Maven has been designed and is currently tested in the 2.3 branch of the Turbine framework. Some work towards the 2.4 release is going on, but no release date has been set. </p>
+
+<u>Velocity </u>
+
+<p>Both user and dev lists are active, but project is stable and widely used. </p>
+
+<p>Upcoming plan is to release a new core 1.4.1 because of a non-backwards compatible change made to in the 1.4 release that prevents people from using a 'word' token in a directive other than in #macro() call or a #foreach(). This bit users of the Webwork framework (and probably others) and will revert back with a log notice that the feature is deprecated. </p>
+
+<p>After that is planned the core 1.5 release of current features in CVS, and then a large pile of new features in patch form including floating-point support as core 1.6. </p>
+
+<p>The Tools part of the project is at version 1.1. </p>
+
+<u>Watchdog</u>
+
+<p>The PMC discussed the status of Watchdog. It is a dormant project with no active committers. However, it is still used by Tomcat as part of Tomcat's release testing. In addition, the PMC would like to retain the option of future work on Watchdog, so the web site and accompanying materials will not be removed. A dormancy notice has been placed on the Watchdog web page and the mailing list subscription links replaced with a note to use general@jakarta. </p>

-<strong>March 2004 Board Report</strong>
-</a>
-</div>
-<p>
-<div class="section-body">
-
-<p>The Jakarta community would like to mention an official thanks and warm and heartfelt appreciation to our outgoing chair, Sam Ruby. We recognize that he was instrumental in guiding it through a sometimes difficult period of high growth, and we all value his considerate and thoughtful contributions. </p>
-
- <p>As the board is obviously aware, the Jakarta PMC has changed chairs, with the retirement :) of Sam Ruby and the appointment of Geir Magnusson Jr. </p>
-
- <p>We officially added 37 committers to the Jakarta PMC. These additions were from the previous two months, and we are starting the process of identifying new candidates and voting again. </p>
-
- <p>We feel we had a successful transition to the new Apache Software License v2.0 The entire Jakarta Commons and commons sandbox has been converted, and the community is very aware of the need to ensure that both the spirit and letter of the boards instructions regarding the license are followed. Thanks to all at the ASF for help in clearing up our questions regarding the process. </p>
-
- <p>The HiveMind codebase currently located in Jakarta Commons has completed it's software grant from WebCT, the employer of the primary author, and the Jakarta PMC has approved a proposal to make HiveMind a new Jakarta sub-project. Along with the PMC's support, the community response to the proposal was very positive. We have checked with the Incubator PMC, and there have been no other issues raised preventing this from happening. </p>
-
- <p>The Jakarta Struts sub-project has voted to apply for ASF top-level project status. The Jakarta PMC supports this and urges the board to accept their proposal ASAP. </p>
-
- <p>The HttpClient component of Jakarta Commons has voted to apply for Jakarta sub-project status. We are waiting the formal proposal, and don't foresee any problems. </p>
-
- <p>We recognize that our charter is woefully inadequate, and intend to produce a revision to submit for board approval in the near future. </p>
-
- <p>The Jakarta PMC had a long and sometimes heated discussion about the board's recommendation that author tags be removed from code. I think that we collectively understand the motivation and how a community has to be careful that author tags don't lead to territorial ownership of what is community-owned code. However, I urge that the board do not mandate their removal, allowing the individual communities to police themselves on this issue. Many of us, myself included, value the author tags because we recognize that it's human nature to be proud of one's work, and the author tag is (one) way in which new community members can initially find value in contribution. Finally, we would appreciate some clarification on how removal of the tags changes the legal exposure of the committers or the ASF. I, for one, don't grok the legal argument. </p>

+<strong>March 2004 Board Report</strong>
+</a>
+</div>
+<p>
+<div class="section-body">
+
+<p>The Jakarta community would like to mention an official thanks and warm and heartfelt appreciation to our outgoing chair, Sam Ruby. We recognize that he was instrumental in guiding it through a sometimes difficult period of high growth, and we all value his considerate and thoughtful contributions. </p>
+
+ <p>As the board is obviously aware, the Jakarta PMC has changed chairs, with the retirement :) of Sam Ruby and the appointment of Geir Magnusson Jr. </p>
+
+ <p>We officially added 37 committers to the Jakarta PMC. These additions were from the previous two months, and we are starting the process of identifying new candidates and voting again. </p>
+
+ <p>We feel we had a successful transition to the new Apache Software License v2.0 The entire Jakarta Commons and commons sandbox has been converted, and the community is very aware of the need to ensure that both the spirit and letter of the boards instructions regarding the license are followed. Thanks to all at the ASF for help in clearing up our questions regarding the process. </p>
+
+ <p>The HiveMind codebase currently located in Jakarta Commons has completed it's software grant from WebCT, the employer of the primary author, and the Jakarta PMC has approved a proposal to make HiveMind a new Jakarta sub-project. Along with the PMC's support, the community response to the proposal was very positive. We have checked with the Incubator PMC, and there have been no other issues raised preventing this from happening. </p>
+
+ <p>The Jakarta Struts sub-project has voted to apply for ASF top-level project status. The Jakarta PMC supports this and urges the board to accept their proposal ASAP. </p>
+
+ <p>The HttpClient component of Jakarta Commons has voted to apply for Jakarta sub-project status. We are waiting the formal proposal, and don't foresee any problems. </p>
+
+ <p>We recognize that our charter is woefully inadequate, and intend to produce a revision to submit for board approval in the near future. </p>
+
+ <p>The Jakarta PMC had a long and sometimes heated discussion about the board's recommendation that author tags be removed from code. I think that we collectively understand the motivation and how a community has to be careful that author tags don't lead to territorial ownership of what is community-owned code. However, I urge that the board do not mandate their removal, allowing the individual communities to police themselves on this issue. Many of us, myself included, value the author tags because we recognize that it's human nature to be proud of one's work, and the author tag is (one) way in which new community members can initially find value in contribution. Finally, we would appreciate some clarification on how removal of the tags changes the legal exposure of the committers or the ASF. I, for one, don't grok the legal argument. </p>

-<p>This is a 2 month report due to the month-late report at the July board meeting. </p>
-
-<p>The PMC bylaws have been updated to match the current practice. Most notably, we removed the 7-member limitation and monthly meetings, making the Jakarta PMC (on paper) less of a board and more of a group of active committers. </p>
-
-<p>Turbine-JCS is planning to request promotion to a full Jakarta subproject. JCS is a Java cache. HttpClient's promotion from Commons to Jakarta subproject is still planned once a 3.0 final release has been made. </p>
-
-<p>The PMC discussed whether action on protection of the Jakarta trademark was needed, though no action has been taken. It was agreed (through lack of argument) that projects should be referred to as Apache Xxxx and not Apache Jakarta Xxxx or some other combination. A side-effect of the conversation saw the sun.com sites mentioning Tomcat change to refer to it as "Apache Tomcat". </p>

-<u>**Commons</u>
-
-<p>Both Jelly and Math are close to a 1.0 release. Grant is going to leave the sandbox to fold back into Maven. Betwixt close to 0.6 release. </p>
-
-<u>HiveMind</u>
-
-<p>Voted in James Carman as a new committer and proceeded through to a 1.0 final release. Work is underway on 1.1 features. </p>
-
-<u>**Taglibs</u>
-
-<p>After a lot of domination by the JSTL implementation, the Taglibs project has some new activity with the announcement of three new taglibs in the sandbox. Mailer2, a complete rewrite of a previous Mailer taglib; DataGrid, a taglib for tabular representation; and RDC, Reusable Dialog Components, a taglib for voice applications. </p>
-
-<u>Tapestry</u>
-
-<p>Work on the 3.1 release (including significant reworking around a HiveMind infrastructure) is under way. No new releases expected for several weeks at the minimum. </p>
-
-<u>Tomcat</u>
-
-<p>Tomcat 5.5 is the next branch in the Tomcat 5.x major release. While it supports the same Servlet and JSP Specification versions as Tomcat 5.0.x, there are significant changes in many areas under the hood. To indicate the magnitude of these changes, which include backwards-incompatible changes such as removal of some internal APIs and the default dependency on J2SE 5.0, we chose 5.5 as the branch number as opposed to 5.1. We hope to improve the stability of the 5.5 releases this month, although a "stable" release cannot be announced until J2SE 5.0 Final Customer Shipment is available. However, please note that multiple users (as well as Tomcat developers) have been using Tomcat 5.0 and 5.5 on J2SE 5.0 for months, without any serious issues. </p>
-
-<u>Watchdog</u>
-
-<p>It was announced to the general Jakarta community that starting with Tomcat 5.5, Tomcat no longer uses Watchdog. Tomcat was the only known user of the Watchdog product, so now the Watchdog project is completely dormant. </p>
-
-<u>ECS</u>
-
-<p>Quiet. </p>

+<p>This is a 2 month report due to the month-late report at the July board meeting. </p>
+
+<p>The PMC bylaws have been updated to match the current practice. Most notably, we removed the 7-member limitation and monthly meetings, making the Jakarta PMC (on paper) less of a board and more of a group of active committers. </p>
+
+<p>Turbine-JCS is planning to request promotion to a full Jakarta subproject. JCS is a Java cache. HttpClient's promotion from Commons to Jakarta subproject is still planned once a 3.0 final release has been made. </p>
+
+<p>The PMC discussed whether action on protection of the Jakarta trademark was needed, though no action has been taken. It was agreed (through lack of argument) that projects should be referred to as Apache Xxxx and not Apache Jakarta Xxxx or some other combination. A side-effect of the conversation saw the sun.com sites mentioning Tomcat change to refer to it as "Apache Tomcat". </p>

+
+<u>**Commons</u>
+
+<p>Both Jelly and Math are close to a 1.0 release. Grant is going to leave the sandbox to fold back into Maven. Betwixt close to 0.6 release. </p>
+
+<u>HiveMind</u>
+
+<p>Voted in James Carman as a new committer and proceeded through to a 1.0 final release. Work is underway on 1.1 features. </p>
+
+<u>**Taglibs</u>
+
+<p>After a lot of domination by the JSTL implementation, the Taglibs project has some new activity with the announcement of three new taglibs in the sandbox. Mailer2, a complete rewrite of a previous Mailer taglib; DataGrid, a taglib for tabular representation; and RDC, Reusable Dialog Components, a taglib for voice applications. </p>
+
+<u>Tapestry</u>
+
+<p>Work on the 3.1 release (including significant reworking around a HiveMind infrastructure) is under way. No new releases expected for several weeks at the minimum. </p>
+
+<u>Tomcat</u>
+
+<p>Tomcat 5.5 is the next branch in the Tomcat 5.x major release. While it supports the same Servlet and JSP Specification versions as Tomcat 5.0.x, there are significant changes in many areas under the hood. To indicate the magnitude of these changes, which include backwards-incompatible changes such as removal of some internal APIs and the default dependency on J2SE 5.0, we chose 5.5 as the branch number as opposed to 5.1. We hope to improve the stability of the 5.5 releases this month, although a "stable" release cannot be announced until J2SE 5.0 Final Customer Shipment is available. However, please note that multiple users (as well as Tomcat developers) have been using Tomcat 5.0 and 5.5 on J2SE 5.0 for months, without any serious issues. </p>
+
+<u>Watchdog</u>
+
+<p>It was announced to the general Jakarta community that starting with Tomcat 5.5, Tomcat no longer uses Watchdog. Tomcat was the only known user of the Watchdog product, so now the Watchdog project is completely dormant. </p>
+
+<u>ECS</u>
+
+<p>Quiet. </p>
