Community Feedback Results in New JCP Website Enhancements

The Java Community Process (JCP) Program Management Office (PMO) is excited to announce an upgrade to the recently launched jcp.org website. After the community?s web home was completely overhauled and released in June 2009, work continued behind the scenes to add to, enhance, and fix its functionality and usefulness. Members of the PMO serve as the project team to define and complete the work.

The JCP program user community has been helpful in offering feedback on the website. Many of the new features and bug fixes were originally suggested or identified by users. Some of those implementations will be immediately obvious. For example, all of the wikis and boards now include a way for users to give their quick opinion of the content by awarding each item with a rating, by selecting a certain number of stars. In addition, all of the public discussion boards and wikis include RSS buttons to enable a user to subscribe to updates of that content. Due to security settings and requirements of browsers, this RSS feed feature works only if SSL is enabled. For example, the RSS feature does work with Firefox.

A variety of bugs have been fixed and the navigation has also been updated to organize the information available. This is another incremental step along the journey to improve jcp.org. In the coming months, as the community continues to suggest changes and enhancements, the efforts will continue to improve the site. All of the feedback keeps the JCP program and jcp.org moving onward and upward.
