Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Compatible Implementation pages for indi

[Paul Buck <paul.buck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought we agreed that a spec's project page would list all compatible implementations? Not just the implementation that was used for the ratification ballot.

The process is that any implementation that has passed the TCK for an individual specification and is in compliance with the EF TCK license can do a certification request against the spec project. The project reviews the request and if acceptable adds the implementation to the spec project page's Compatible Implementations list.

For example, if Jetty met the requirements for Jakarta Servlet they could do the certification request and be added to the list of Compatible Implementations

We loosely describe this process in the Jakarta EE TCK Process, see Certification of Compatibility. The language in that section needs to be tightened up in my opinion since it mixes considerations for getting listed on the Compatible Products page for compatible implementations of the Platform and Web Profile with what I described above. 

Thanks ... Paul

Hi,
One of our Jakarta EE users (@Thihup) has asked about publicizing his Compatible Implementation for JSONP:
https://github.com/jakartaee/specifications/issues/326

As my remarks in that Issue indicate, we have our Compatible Implementation page for the Platform.  But, we do not have a consistent means of publicizing Compatible Implementations for individual Specifications.

1. Do we want to create a set of pages for the individual Specifications on jakarta.ee?  Letting it organically grow as new CIs become available...  That is, don't pre-populate a whole new set of pages.  Just add pages as these CIs become Accepted.
   
2. Or, do we want to push this down to each Specification Project to publicize as they see fit?  Maybe via github pages or the like.
   
3. Or, other ideas?
   

I'm leaning towards option #1.  Let's start the discussion.  Thanks!
