Somewhere in my long list of missions, it's still in there :)

this on made by Eduardo:

"Some things you are asking already exist. For example, open mailing lists
are totally OK with the current JCP process – although I know the
infrastructure support for some of this is not where it should be." [1]

Not where it should be? I think it's pretty clear that the infrastructure
for an open mailing list is pretty much non-existent. We *are* the expert
group (or were) and we can't even make this happen.

The JCP has their own promises to worry about. I'm just trying to deliver on
our promise. Every message sent to jsr-314-open at jcp.org should be available
to the public and in one place.
