[PROPOSAL] Create dev@jakarta.apache.org mailinglist..

[Martin van den Bemt <ml...@mvdb.net>]

Hi everyone,

For various reasons there are a couple of projects at Jakarta that currently don't have any
development community. I like these projects to have dev discussion move to dev@jakarta.apache.org,
so it is easier for us to give oversight and guide newbies to learn the Apache way.
The initial projects I have in mind are : oro, regexp and ecs (others are welcome too btw).

This idea sparked from 1) my thread about reviving inactive projects 2) the thread on ecs-user on
who is still using ECS and looking at the content it could very well be that some people will start
sending patches in the near future.

The strength of this list should be is that with a lot of hands the chance that nothing happens when
there is activity is minimized. If someone has an hour to spare, it could very well be useful to
apply a patch and mentor people.

I would kind of expect that every PMC member is also subscribed to this list (in the same way it is
kind of expected that you are subscribed to general), but as always cannot force anyone ;)

Since I don't like to extend the scope of the general list, I prefer dev discussion not to take
place there.

Thoughts ?

Mvgr,
Martin
