Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] TCK download directory conventions

[Bill Shannon <bill.shannon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The specifications PR template doesn't ask for the location of the
staged TCK.  The _index.md file should have the location of the released
TCK.  How should the location of the staged TCK be communicated to the
spec committee for review?  Should we add it to the PR template?
