The Jakarta Project Management Committee is pleased to announce the
formation of a new subproject called JAKARTA-TAGLIBS.  The purpose of
this subproject is to be a repository of custom tag libraries,
contributed to the project under the Apache Source License.  These
custom tag libraries can be utilized "as is" in your web applications,
or you can contribute patches and other improvements to the libraries,
or offer your own library as well.

Information about JAKARTA-TAGLIBS will be added to the Jakarta web site
<http://jakarta.apache.org> shortly.  In the mean time, please note the
following:

* If you are interested in developing custom tag libraries that are
  part of the subproject, please subscribe to the TAGLIBS-DEV
  mailing list by sending mail to the mailing list server at

  TAGLIBS-DEV-SUBSCRIBE@JAKARTA.APACHE.ORG

  and reading the documentation in file "doc/sourcedist.html"
  about the organization of the directories and files within the
  subproject.

* If you are interested in using custom tag libraries that are
  part of the subproject, please subscribe to the TAGLIBS-USER
  mailing list by sending mail to the mailing list server at

  TAGLIBS-USER-SUBSCRIBE@JAKARTA.APACHE.ORG

 ((Note:  As of Sunday April 9, 2000 this list was not activated
  yet.  It will be shortly))

* You can use anonymous CVS to check out the source code of this
  subproject in the usual way, by executing the command

    cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@jakarta.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout
jakarta-taglibs

  See <http://jakarta.apache.org/getinvolved/cvsindex.html> for more
  information about access via anonymous CVS.

* You can browse the CVS repository online by pointing your browser
  at <http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/jakarta-taglibs>.

Note that the JAKARTA-TAGLIBS libraries are a separate initiative from
the proposal to create "A Standard Tag Library for JavaServer Pages",
which is currently under development using the Java Community Process.
See
<http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/jsr/jsr_052_jsptaglib.html>

We hope you enjoy contributing to, and using, the custom tag libraries
contributed to JAKARTA-TAGLIBS.
