TCK download access for Jeff....

Geir,

Can Jeff Genender be given access to the Java partner website as well? 

He's the one that is submitting the challenges to Oracle, but one of the 
things he cannot do right now is actually check to make sure a newer TCK is 
already available prior to submitting the challenge.   I think it would 
definitely be best if he could at least check for newer TCK's prior to 
submitting a challenge just to reduce the embarrassment of submitting 
challenges for tests that have already been fixed/changed.   I know we've hit 
this problem in the past and it's not something that really should be an 
issue.

The other two alternatives are:
1) Somehow get it so that Mark and I can also submit challenges.  I really 
don't know anything about that though.

2) Change the "workflow" so that new challenges are first assigned to Mark or 
myself to verify the TCK level.  After that is done, we re-assign the issue to 
Jeff.

Thanks!

Removed for now.

That's news to me. Where is this documented?

Sounds like you have a process in mind for this. Is it documented anywhere?

A new list might be a good idea because geronimo uses GERONIMO-TCK for tracking work on our tck harness as well as challenges.

We already do... GERONIMO-TCK... which has been used for several projects for TCK challenges.

It probably should be renamed to TCK-CHALLENGES.

I don't think we want that - we've always asked that there be coordination points for this in the projects as to not assail the spec leads w/ random questions from random people.

I think that we should be cc-ed on the challenges just to be sure that 

a) things are decently organized and

b) things remain visible and civil

I was kind of expecting that as well.  However, I noticed there was a new 
version of the jaxws 2.2 tck released last week that I didn't get an email 
for.   I only noticed it because I logged in to check to see if there was a 
new one as part of challenging a test.   I don't know if it hit a spam filter 
of if it ran into some other mail issues or what.

Anyone can issue a challenge. They just need to send an e-mail with the
required information to our POC at Sun. I'll stick their contact details
in the repo in a sec.

I believe we get e-mailed if updated packages are added to the
JavaPartner website. As long as we respond to those reasonably promptly
we should be OK.
