Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Jakarta EE 9 Release Landing Page --
Hola Wayne, 

Thank you in advance for your feedback. I am pulling into this thread because I wonder who gets to adjust the Jakarta EE mailing lists? 
The community does the review, but who is in charge of executing the changes? Thank you!

Jakartees, 

Topic 3 CLEAN-UP:  Jakarta EE Mailing lists inventory & recommended improvements. 
There are 4 sections to each mailing list:
  1. Mailing list name and number of subscribers
  2. About the forum (description)
  3. Usage: email and archives
  4. Subscribe 
As listed below, in the Jakarta EE Connect > Jakarta EE Mailings, issues are as follows:
  • no description consistency.  The description ought to start always with a VERB when call to action is the point. 
  • Too many abbreviations. The assumption that everyone knows the technology is poor at best. We must step up and be kinder to newcomers. 
  • The mentioning of EE4J is the forum description not necessary. EE4J is the parent technology, the umbrella. Jakarta EE is a member of the technology under EE4J.  We must be clear on the difference, and that starts with the mailing lists.  
  •  the alphabetization of the mailing lists could be amazing

I have submitted issues in the order the emails are presented in the mailing list. 
The https://jakarta.ee/specifications/ page was helpful with focused descriptions.  Yet that landing page still needs to be alphabetized for better user-navigation.  Kevin already submitted a nice issue on that! :) 

PLEASE Find your favorite forums below and help review as you see fits. 
Let's think about those who know nothing about Java EE or Jakarta EE but who might arrive at the Jakarta EE website... with curiosity.  Let capture his/her attention to this open-source ecosystem by showing that we don't take their lack of knowledge as a show stopper.  💪💙

Jakartees, 

Much work is being done on the creation of the Jakarta EE 9 Release landing page. The technical work on the Jakarta EE 9 release was completed on Nov. 6th, yeayy! 
The facts listed on the page relevant to the release are currently incorrect and need our attention.

Topic 1: Jakarta EE Repo - WIP

Last June 2019, the Jakarta EE working group discussed and voted to import the Jakarta EE Repo all the Specs relevant to Jakarta EE from the EE4J repository. 

What does it take to get the task completed? 
Can we prioritize it as a crucial item for the Jakarta EE 9.1 release? 
Can we double check the 60 Repo's mentioned above and make sure to not include stuff from the EE4J parent umbrella? 
 
Topic 2: Jakarta EE projects
Currently counted 31; however, the 9 release contains 35 specifications.
Do we also include the 10 repos already allocated in the Jakarta EE repo? If yes, then the number increases to 45.  
Topic 3: Jakarta EE Mailing lists and its link to EE4J
  • Jakarta EE Mailing Lists that helped create this landing page: https://jakarta.ee/connect/mailing-lists/ currently contains 40 forums. Naming adjustments are needed.  How do we submit such feedback? 
  • Does a git issue work? Or PRs? How can we help adjust what currently is?
  • The removal of many EE4J mailing lists from the Jakarta EE mailing lists matters. 
  • EE4J must become its own independent umbrella parent with its own website, etc., to scale and welcome other projects to join the space.   
  • The repo specifications migrations need to help with a naming convention and update on the mailing lists. 
Topic 3: What items should be a part of the Release 9 page?
Should the Jakarta EE 9 release page focus solely on the release's work? Or should summarize the entire project? 

The current PR we are about to merge about highlighting the Contributors via Contributors Cards focuses only on the contributors' activity from work completed from Oct 1st, 2019 to Dec 8th, 2020.  

As such, I recommend, the 9 page focus only on the release work. Ideally, each release will have its own landing page. To iterate such a focus is recommended to be applied to future releases.  

Happy wknd everyone,
