    Hi.
    
    I would like to discuss the possible creation of the Developer's Guide Project
    with myself, Jesper Wilhelmsson, as the lead and the Core-Libs, Compiler, and
    Hotspot groups as the sponsoring Groups.
    
    The initial goal of the project would be to create up-to-date guidelines for
    OpenJDK development and contributions. The intent is to update the existing
    OpenJDK Developer's Guide [1] which hasn't been updated since 2012. Parts of
    the existing guide are in need of updates while other parts are yet to be
    written. The initial source code for this project will be based on the current
    OpenJDK Developer's Guide.
    
    In more recent years some process related information has been published on the
    OpenJDK wiki [2], but this information was never reviewed or approved by the
    community. Even though large parts of this information may be accurate, it needs
    to go through proper review before it can be seen as official guidelines for
    OpenJDK development.
    
    Once the initial goal has been reached the project will transition into a
    maintenance project to keep the OpenJDK Developer's Guide up to date.
    
    The OpenJDK Developer's Guide is intended to contain tutorial style texts that
    give examples and step-by-step directions for common parts of the development
    process. Strict rules for OpenJDK development are better suited to a process
    JEP. The development of such a JEP is outside of the scope of this project but
    will be developed as part of a separate effort in parallel.
    
    Initial committers of the Developer's Guide Project include Mark Reinhold, Iris
    Clark, and Jesper Wilhelmsson. Additional committers may be identified through
    this discussion.
    
    The project will host at least one mailing list, guide-dev at openjdk.java.net,
    for discussions and reviews of changes.
    
    Thanks,
    /Jesper
