Yes.

That is clear. But looking at jpackage.org the overall status of jpp6 is 
unclear. As is jpp5, since it misses so much updates. The public 
presentation of JPP needs to be improved. That's why I suggested a Wiki, as 
this is easier to maintain as a web page. It could also benefit from 
contributions of ordinary JPP users.

I use the yum priorities plug-in for this. See my other post.

Who is settings the goals? Where are they documented? Where do developers 
communicate? I think I checked everything out besides the IRC channel.
