BradNeuberg proposed that we should have "stewards" - persons who are skilled in certain project-wide coding issues and help developers improve their code.

Of course, this is all voluntary. Nobody needs to let a steward look into his code and give comments. But I hope people will accept the stewards' help as one way of quality assurance - and after all, that's what we want to create: a high quality product. :-)

So here's a first list:

• the ThreadSafetySteward (ensures that code is thread-safe): StefanReich (I don't have complete theoretical knowledge about this subject, but intend to do some recherche/research and maybe write a "meta test program" [if there is none]), VivekVenugopalan
• the InternationalizationSteward (ensures that code is internationalizable): StefanBorg (Currently digging my teeth into ResourceBundles and would be happy to do it.)
• the JavaBeansSteward (ensures that classes are reusable as JavaBeans): StefanBorg
• the JFCSteward StefanBorg (I love this stuff!!)
• the ExtensibilitySteward (ensures that interfaces are open enough to be extended in later releases): BorneMace (Seemed like nobody wanted it, and I dig openness.)

I'm adding two new Stewards, as per NewJOSWebPage. Their job descriptions need some fleshing out.

• PRSteward : In charge of outside contact (see PRIssues )
• WebSteward : In charge of web site maintenance (from out here)

In the same vein as the above, I would like to propose a ProjectSteward.

This is a call for volunteers.
