Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Operations document conversion

[Scott Stark <sstark@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would say we just need to make this a topic and task that the
specification and/or steering committee needs to create an issue for,
and spawn jakarta.ee issues as needed to get the changes in. We could
assign it to someone from the marketing committee as well. A minimal
first step would be to create a committees index page, and then fill
out the pages. I have created a jakarta.ee issue describing my take on
the problem:

And if you do get there, it doesn't describe all the committees and link off to pages for each committee as I expected, it just describes the one document you've published.  That seems a bit short sighted.  And the right navigation isn't specific to the committee page you're on.  It seems like a bit more thought needs to go into the structure of these pages.

Anyone can send a PR to make changes or add information. If we want a description of each committee, then let's do that. The directory structure is set up to allow for that.
