And a very good thing it is. But compared to the C-GNOME community, it's
extremely small.

I certainly would like to be able to to distribute my application as
foo-1.0-noarch.rpm, rather than a bunch of foo-1.0-i386.rpm,
foo-1.0-ppc.rpm, etc... In order for this to work, you have to be able
to set up dependencies to the VM. The Python-GNOME community can do
this, why not us?

You know what would be cool? If we got ourselves a killer app written
using Java-GNOME. An app everybody wants. It would be beneficial for
both the Linux, GNOME, and Java communities on so many levels. Let's
hope it happens.
