+      <li>There were legal issues regarding the JCS codebase.  GPL (jisp), Sleepycat \
(berkeley) and LGPL (jgroups) codebases were found. The former two have been deleted, \
the LGPL dependency (an optional feature) has not currently been deleted. Waiting for \
Cliff's official LGPL statement. </li> +      <li>There was a legal-come-personal \
issue to do with the POI mailing list. At least some of the board should be aware of \
this and the PMC is waiting on a draft question to be written for \
legal-internal.</li> +      <li>I am actively pushing subprojects to move to TLP, \
with the intent of making Jakarta more Commons-like so that Commons and the rest of \
Jakarta may fold into a single community. </li> +    </ul>

+    <u>Commons Sandbox</u>
+
+    <p>Commons-CSV was recently added to the sandbox, based on a code grant from \
Netcetera in Switzerland. </p> +
+    <u>Commons Configuration</u>
+
+    <p>See next quarter. Only just released.</p>
+
+    <u>Commons HttpClient</u>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>3.0rc4 was released in October as a number of small bugs continued to roll \
in since rc3.</li> +      <li>A vote on 3.0 final has been held and a release should \
follow by the end of December.</li> +      <li>Work on Jakarta HttpComponents has \
continued and should pick up following the release of HttpClient 3.0. Presently \
Jakarta HttpComponents committers are working toward the first ALPHA release of the \
HttpCore components, which will form the foundation of Jakarta HttpClient 4.0. The \
HttpCore components are currently undergoing a peer code review and are being \
optimized for performance and memory footprint</li> +    </ul>
+
+    <u>Commons IO</u>
+
+    <p>Commons-IO released version 1.1. This had a number of new features including \
accessing the free space on a hard disk without using a native call, and reading and \
writing line-based files.</p> +
+    <u>Commons Net</u>
+
+    <p>No report. Will ensure it has one next quarter.</p>
+
+    <u>Commons Validator</u>
+
+    <p>No report. Will ensure it has one next quarter.</p>
+
+    <u>HiveMind</u>
+
+    <p>HiveMind has released a 1.1 final release.</p>
+
+    <u>Tapestry</u>
+
+    <p>Tapestry has attempted the unusual feat of regular, weekly beta releases. Two \
new committers, Jesse Kuhnert and Kent Tong (pending CLA), have been voted onto the \
project. A first release  candidate for 4.0 has been created, and final 4.0 release \
is expected shortly.</p> +
+    <u>Turbine</u>
+
+    <p>After two release candidates, the Turbine team released v 2.3.2 of the \
Turbine framework. This is a bug fix release for the 2.3 branch of the framework. \
Also an updated version of the Maven Environment for Turbine Applications (M.E.T.A.) \
to support this version was released.</p> +
+    <u>Velocity Tools</u>
+
+    <p>VelocityTools 1.2 was released to more publicity than its predecessor thanks \
to an interview article on Yahoo's InfoWorld.  It incorporates a wide variety of new \
tools, bug fixes, and miscellaneous improvements and is fully compatible with the \
Struts 1.2.x series.  The release of 1.2 also frees the developers to begin \
experimenting more seriously with some significant architectural changes.  At this \
point it seems likely that the next version will need to be 2.0, though there is \
still a possibility of a 1.3 release if Velocity 1.5 comes out soon.</p> +
+    <p>The subproject continues to gain new users and would like to add another \
committer or two if only some of our handful of erstwhile contributors would step up \
their effort.</p> +

(berkeley) and LGPL (jgroups) codebases were found. The former two have been deleted, \
the LGPL dependency (an optional feature) has not currently been deleted. Waiting for \
Cliff's official LGPL statement. </li> +      <li>There was a legal-come-personal \
issue to do with the POI mailing list. At least some of the board should be aware of \
this and the PMC is waiting on a draft question to be written for \
legal-internal.</li> +      <li>I am actively pushing subprojects to move to TLP, \
with the intent of making Jakarta more Commons-like so that Commons and the rest of \
Jakarta may fold into a single community. </li> +    </ul>

+
+    <u>Commons Sandbox</u>
+
+    <p>Commons-CSV was recently added to the sandbox, based on a code grant from \
Netcetera in Switzerland. </p> +
+    <u>Commons Configuration</u>
+
+    <p>See next quarter. Only just released.</p>
+
+    <u>Commons HttpClient</u>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>3.0rc4 was released in October as a number of small bugs continued to roll \
in since rc3.</li> +      <li>A vote on 3.0 final has been held and a release should \
follow by the end of December.</li> +      <li>Work on Jakarta HttpComponents has \
continued and should pick up following the release of HttpClient 3.0. Presently \
Jakarta HttpComponents committers are working toward the first ALPHA release of the \
HttpCore components, which will form the foundation of Jakarta HttpClient 4.0. The \
HttpCore components are currently undergoing a peer code review and are being \
optimized for performance and memory footprint</li> +    </ul>
+
+    <u>Commons IO</u>
+
+    <p>Commons-IO released version 1.1. This had a number of new features including \
accessing the free space on a hard disk without using a native call, and reading and \
writing line-based files.</p> +
+    <u>Commons Net</u>
+
+    <p>No report. Will ensure it has one next quarter.</p>
+
+    <u>Commons Validator</u>
+
+    <p>No report. Will ensure it has one next quarter.</p>
+
+    <u>HiveMind</u>
+
+    <p>HiveMind has released a 1.1 final release.</p>
+
+    <u>Tapestry</u>
+
+    <p>Tapestry has attempted the unusual feat of regular, weekly beta releases. Two \
new committers, Jesse Kuhnert and Kent Tong (pending CLA), have been voted onto the \
project. A first release  candidate for 4.0 has been created, and final 4.0 release \
is expected shortly.</p> +
+    <u>Turbine</u>
+
+    <p>After two release candidates, the Turbine team released v 2.3.2 of the \
Turbine framework. This is a bug fix release for the 2.3 branch of the framework. \
Also an updated version of the Maven Environment for Turbine Applications (M.E.T.A.) \
to support this version was released.</p> +
+    <u>Velocity Tools</u>
+
+    <p>VelocityTools 1.2 was released to more publicity than its predecessor thanks \
to an interview article on Yahoo's InfoWorld.  It incorporates a wide variety of new \
tools, bug fixes, and miscellaneous improvements and is fully compatible with the \
Struts 1.2.x series.  The release of 1.2 also frees the developers to begin \
experimenting more seriously with some significant architectural changes.  At this \
point it seems likely that the next version will need to be 2.0, though there is \
still a possibility of a 1.3 release if Velocity 1.5 comes out soon.</p> +
+    <p>The subproject continues to gain new users and would like to add another \
committer or two if only some of our handful of erstwhile contributors would step up \
their effort.</p> +
