Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] TCK Projects vs Spec Projects
I can't speak for how it works in larger organizations, but for JSR371 it is the same people involved. 
The way we work with tags in the asciidoc spec documents that is used to generate TCK test coverage, keeping them together makes life much easier. 
Would it be possible to allow for both models? Or do we need to specify it that detailed?

Bill,

Wayne and I discussed this very topic yesterday.

Given that the TCK is a 1:1 with the Specification and the API, and that
all three artifacts need to be released at the same time, we're thinking
that they should all be managed as one project.

Our single reservation is that AIUI the people who work on the TCK and
the people who work on the spec document are often different. Is that
actually correct? We typically have a single committer list for everyone
involved in all aspects of a single project. If we need to manage
separate lists of committers between the spec doc/API/TCK that may drive
us towards a different solution.

Thoughts? Comments?
