WaSP implements the Jakarta Pages API. Since Jakarta Tags is so strongly related to it, we would like to merge the implementation folder of the Jakarta Tags project to WaSP instead of creating a new project for this. WaSP will then implement both Jakarta Pages and Jakarta Tags.
Since Paul is now the project lead of the Jakarta Pages API project (which includes the implementation), it's only natural that he would become a co-lead for the WaSP project following this merge.
For these reasons and the long-term outlook for their involvement on the team, it is my pleasure to nominate Paul as a co-lead on Eclipse WaSP.
