[jsr-314-open] revisiting the JSR-314 openness policy

[Roger Kitain]

On a related note....

As some of you may know, the EG archive mechanism for our EG emails has 
been broken.
In other words, any emails sent to jsr-314-open alias have not been 
archived in our well known
familiar place.
I just got off the phone with  a JCP individual about this.  It appears 
that this started happening
around June when the JCP went through a makeover of their site.
The gist of it is that the archiving mechanism has been replaced  forum 
based mechanism:
http://wiki.jcp.org/boards/index.php?b=jsr-314-public
So any emails sent to jsr-314-public would (or should) show up here.
They also said that the older jsr-314-open messages could be injected 
into this forum so we
would not lose anything.

I'm still awaiting specific
details about the new process and what we need to do to rectify the 
situation, but it may mean
we change from jsr-314-open to jsr-314-public.  I will let you know as 
soon as I find out more.
