Dan's mission, before the expert group was disbanded, was to get all of
these archives, including the threads from the missing periods:
Somewhere in my long list of missions, it's still in there :)
1. Online. And...
2. Accessible without login.
I still think that this is a very critical goal for JSF.

While I am grateful for the effort that JBoss has made in making the latest
archives available on
lists.jboss.org - and I have been taking full
advantage of the ability to share these publicly accessible links - this
looks like a stop-gap measure to me. It's been over a year since we first
reported the problems with our archives to the JCP. We need the JCP to
finally come through and provide a more formal solution.
Absolutely. That's why I'm still so confused when I read statements like
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(a)jcp.org should be available
to the public and in one place.
