Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] Alignment with Code of Conduct for specifications migration

Theodor,
I'm curious how this question relates to the Code of Conduct?  Are you seeing issues with how people are responding to the pleas for help?

To answer your specific question...  I agree that the Change Log (or Revision History) should be specific to current release effort.  That's how we are doing it with the Platform, Web Profile, and Managed Beans specs.  Although it might be nice for consistency, I don't think this has to be enforced across all of the component specifications.  If an individual spec wishes to have a running Change Log since the spec was initiated, I would say that's up to them.  (These are my opinions, not speaking from a PMC or Spec Committee perspective.)

Hi folks,
earlier I did a check for understanding the status of the specifications. Happily to announce that there are new people willing to participate and help.

During my overview I saw that every project had been managing the transaction in its own way. In particular, the thing that I'd like to address is what are your opinions regarding the Change Log section? I've seen projects that decided to keep it (e.g. [3]) while in others it has been removed [1][2]. Therefore, I'm starting this conversation because I strongly believe that all the specification should follow the same decision regarding this issue.

In my opinion, the changelog should be erased for two reasons. First, it forces us to maintain references to old Oracle documentation. Secondly, in the long run there will be more and more confusion for new folks going through references regarding discussion outside the Jakarta/Eclipse ecosystem and also because of the namespaces javax.
