Yep, looked at all these. Unfortunately was unsure of their
accuracy and completeness too (which is why I tried to also look
at the specification documents themselves in addition to what Ivar
managed to get for me).
Thanks for pointing these out though.

Hi,
I liked the following resources for some overview:
With all respect, I think it's important to look at
this from the standpoint of someone that doesn't
have a lot of time to be abreast of all
specification development. So far, the only way to
understand what changed is essentially to navigate
each specification document and see if the exact
delta is well-documented somehow. Sometimes it is
and sometimes it is not (I would assess the quality
of this information currently at something like
50%). If you like I can go over it again and list
the specific rough spots that are very hard to track
down.
Right, documentation is always the hardest part of an
open-source project. The Jakarta EE Specification
Committee defines the documentation structure, but it is
entirely up to each one of the individual open-source
specification projects to provide the actual text. There
is no central entity providing this service.
Documentation is probably one of the most appreciated
contributions that can be made to an open-source
project. The more help, the better documentation.

In the meanwhile, if folks could do an old
fashioned review, I would really appreciate it. I do
need to deliver this talk as soon as a few weeks
from now.

Hi Reza,
Thanks for setting this up!
As I promised, I will send you the rest of
my slides when they have been updated
so you can add them to the ones you got
previously.
You say it is hard to find the information,
which makes me curious. What is missing on the
specification pages [1]?
The goal is that these pages should be a
one-stop place to find all information about
the various specification releases.
Note that the Specification Committee is
currently going over each specification to add
a "Short Summary" section modeled after this
template [2].
This work is not complete yet, so bear with
us a little until we get it done. An example
of what it may look like is Jakarta Connectors
2.1 [3].
Each specification document contains a
"What's new" section and a changelog, and we
don't want to duplicate too much of this
information on the summary page.
I am beginning to put together my Jakarta EE
10 deck: https://1drv.ms/p/s!AlSoTwbDM7bzgeYG6M4aS_Mi2Pbemg?e=uc6ccj.
I have to
be honest that this was very tough as accurate
and complete information
on Jakarta EE 10 has been very difficult to
come by at the moment.
Can I kindly ask for a review? At this point,
100% accuracy and
completeness is probably not possible but I
would like to avoid obvious
mistakes.
Once I have delivered the talk a few times, I
will add a heavy amount of
speaker notes, record the talk and make it
possible for any Ambassador
to deliver the talk themselves.
Thanks in advance for your help.
