Hi Henri -

We would welcome Geronimo using our JSTL implementation, and it is my
understanding that Geronimo is already planning to use other GlassFish
components, like JAXB.

If you find bugs, submit bug reports, or, even better, fixes.  Unless the bugs
come in a critical time, we will try to fix them; and if the timing is wrong for
us, you could do a local fork while we are in high resistence mode and integrate
later.

Comit rights at GlassFish are acquired in a way similar to at Apache - you need
to show competence in the code base.  As at Apache you need to sign an agreement
to share the copyright (in our case this is the SCA).

Documentation on GlassFish is at GlassFishWiki.ORG.  As most sites it needs
work, but it is good enough for the development team.

Hope this helps,
