Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] [Ballot] - Denoting which implementation was used to ratify a specification
I vote for option 3.

I feel option 2 is going too much in the direction of "check the fine print". Option 1 frankly I don't like for aesthetic reasons, but also with David's points in mind it does end up marking certain impls as special (although like Ivar my first reaction to seeing an asterisk is a negative one).

Option 3 is a nice compromise between the two.

Subject: [jakarta.ee-spec] [Ballot] - Denoting which implementation was used to ratify a specification
 

The Specification Committee has discussed the proposal to demote on a specification page which open source implementation was used during ratification of the specification during a Release Review. There have been robust discussions on the mailing list and in meetings. Four options emerged which I have listed below. They have been mocked up by Ivar, see the PRs. Option 4 has no PR since it is the "do nothing" choice.  Options:
  1. Place an asterisk beside implementation in the list of Compatible Implementations (https://deploy-preview-338--jakartaee-specifications.netlify.app/specifications/jsonp/2.0/)
  2. Provide a link to the Compatibility Certification Requests used for the Ballot at the bottom of the page (https://deploy-preview-337--jakartaee-specifications.netlify.app/specifications/jsonp/2.0/)
  3. Include the compatible implementation in the list of  release artifacts at the top of the spec page (https://deploy-preview-329--jakartaee-specifications.netlify.app/specifications/jsonp/2.0/)
  4. Do nothing, as is, no denotation (https://jakarta.ee/specifications/jsonp/2.0/)
Specification Committee members, please respond with your choice: 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Thanks ... Paul
