-(Has been sent to the board. Please do not edit.)
-
-== July-September 2004 ==
-
-=== Status ===
-
-This is a 2 month report due to the month-late report at the July board meeting.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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".
-
-=== Possible plans for the next quarter ===
-
-Robert Burrel Donkin has volunteered to migrate ECS over to SVN as a trial migration.
-
-I (Henri Yandell) plan to organize improvements to the Jakarta download page, which is in dire need of improvements.
-

-=== Infrastructure news ===
-
-Henning Schmiedehausen is moderating the Turbine JCS list.
-
-=== Subproject news ===
-
-(** implies report based on the mailing lists by the chair)
-
-==== **Commons ====
-
-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.
-
-==== HiveMind ====
-
-Voted in James Carman as a new committer and proceeded through to a 1.0 final release. Work is underway on 1.1 features.
-
-==== **Taglibs ====
-
-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.
-
-==== Tapestry ====
-
-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.
-
-==== Tomcat ====
-
-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.
-
-==== Watchdog ====
-
-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.
-
-==== ECS ====
-
-Quiet.
