Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Ballot status

But it's a good question whether that's actually happening and whether they're paying attention to it and know what to do with it.

In n=1, double-check on "is that happening" the answer was,"No." That person didn't really know that a) the ballot was approved, nor b) that the new checklist constituted more work to be completed. The hints were: the Label was applied and the Checklist was added. But those are not really firm statements, in my opinion.

Forwarding the Ballot is Approved/Completed to the lead and/or the project list wouldn't be a bad idea, in my opinion. I keep needing to remind myself that not all the leads are on these committees so helping them along, probably wouldn't hurt. Especially since we now have a bit of a time-crunch trying to line things up for events next week, and the week after.

A couple of questions:

1) When the ballot is complete -- are we notifying the person who filed the PR and letting them know they need to finish the activities listed in that final checklist? (for example, should the ballot complete notices be forwarded to each submitter and/or the project list?)

I think we're expecting that they'll be notified when we add the checklist to the PR.  But it's a good question whether that's actually happening and whether they're paying attention to it and know what to do with it.

2) What triggers the generation of the final site pages? (pages at https://jakarta.ee/specifications/) Once that trigger occurs, what's the time-frame for the site to become available? Can we hope to have some/many/most/all of these ready by next Tuesday?

I believe it's triggered manually.  I thought Wayne was working on some sort of staging site so we could preview the content before it was pushed to the real site, but I haven't heard anything about that.
