Re: [Jython-dev] Jython and Java 1.5?

[Frank C. <fc...@pu...>]

Hi Samuele: First off let me tell you how much I appreciate Jython and 
your work. It is truly an amazingly good language and implementation. 
Thanks for your work on maintaining it.

1.5 is in beta now. Typical Sun move is to declare a final beta at 
JavaOne in June, then do a bug fix release or two, then ship it. I 
already have a few TestMaker users on 1.5 beta and they're not happy.

What help can I offer for Jython 2.2? Perhaps writing the docs? I'm 
happy to set-up a wiki on the PushToTest site that we can use to work 
through the release.

How about giving Patrick commit privs? He seems motivated.
