<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hello everyone,<div><br></div><div>Welcome to this group and thanks for joining. I have been waiting for the summer vacations to end before soliciting you. But now is the time to start.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have been working mainly on the infrastructure of the specification with to goal to streamline our work as much as possible. The goal for this infra is to:</div><div>- work the spec in the open</div>
<div>- make contributions as easy as possible</div><div>- have me do less work :)</div><div><br></div><div><b>Infrastructure</b></div><div>The spec has:</div><div>- a website <a href="http://beanvalidation.org" target="_blank">http://beanvalidation.org</a></div>
<div>- source repositories <a href="https://github.com/beanvalidation" target="_blank">https://github.com/beanvalidation</a> (spec, API, TCK and the website itself)</div><div>- a mailing list (this one)</div><div>- a forum for more casual interactions (not sure it is useful)</div>
<div>- a issue tracker <a href="http://beanvalidation.org/issues" target="_blank">http://beanvalidation.org/issues</a></div><div>All publicly accessible.</div><div><br></div><div>The portal for everything Bean Validation is <a href="http://beanvalidation.org" target="_blank">http://beanvalidation.org</a>.�People can find the latest news as well as information on how to contribute.�</div>
<div><br></div><div>I encourage you to read the contribute section <a href="http://beanvalidation.org/contribute" target="_blank">http://beanvalidation.org/contribute</a>.�This page (and associated pages) explains how to contribute to the specification document, the API, the TCK, the RI and even the <a href="http://beanvalidation.org" target="_blank">beanvalidation.org</a> website itself. Let me know if you think something needs to be refined and clarified.</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>Process</b></div><div>I have listed the main goals of this specification in�<a href="http://beanvalidation.org/roadmap/" target="_blank">http://beanvalidation.org/roadmap/</a> but the true source is the issue tracker�<a href="http://beanvalidation.org/issues" target="_blank">http://beanvalidation.org/issues</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Our first objective is going to make sure that what we want to do is in JIRA and sort the work in decreasing priority.</div><div><br></div><div>Once this settled, I will call for one or two subjects at a given time on which we can brainstorm on this mailing list and or on the issue tracker before converging and writing a proposal (see <a href="http://beanvalidation.org/contribute/specification/" target="_blank">http://beanvalidation.org/contribute/specification/</a>). I don't have to be the one writing a proposal necessarily.</div>
<div><br></div><div>All of this is a base proposal for our work, we can change it. So feel free to speak up and contribute.</div><div><br></div><div>Let the fun start!</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>Emmanuel Bernard</div>
