I'm fine with explaining that it's there for voiced opinions, but tell me again, is this something that will be resolved and synced to a mailing list once we get all of that sorted out?
I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Could you clarify the question? Sorry, maybe just too much egg nog (wait, it was Ed that was drinking the egg nog).
What is the expectation we'd like to set?
The public forums serve two purposes:
1. To allow the public to notify us of a deficiency in the spec, or submit a feature request
2. To allow community members to discuss amongst themselves
A few thoughts:
#1 - I'm not sure. Should we just point them to the issue tracker? That would streamline the process, however limiting public visibility to the initial discussion, and I like discussion.
I think just like jsr-314-open, we vet the idea for a post or two on the forums before doing an issue report. We also do that with Seam and it seems to cut down the number of bogus issue requests.
