I understand and I'd like to help. If things are not working and
the all the project members know it, new people like myself who
want to get involved have no way to find out if they don't ask.
Hence the reptetition seen by those in the know (but it's still
news to us newbies). What's the best way to fix this? How can I
help?

My subject line was intended as facetious - I guess I had hoped
to get that across by labelling it as flame bait. If it was not
taken that way, and anyone was offended, I apologize and take
it back right here, right now, without reservation, period. I didn't
want to put anyone down, and I have the greatest respect for those
who put their time into projects like Jakarta. As I said in my
inappropriately labelled note, I want to play too, please tell me
how.

Actually, a web-based, searchable mailing list archive (do we have one?) should
help alleviate this problem.  :)

If we don't have one, someone on the list with a server might just sucker me
into setting one up...

Why bother? Even potential or joking flamebaits are a waste of time.

The TODO document is a good start. ;-)


FYI, I just fixed the problem you had with the FAQ and cookies. It was a bug
in Turbine, the framework that Jyve (the FAQ) is implemented on top of. It
should work for you now.
