Hi, after some time for reflection and investigation, I forward you 5 mails (read them or ignore them): 1st mail: Gilbert suggests a "united development platform" as new project and offers to give more information about the success/ failures in JOS as well as support for application programmers who want to build on JOS 2nd mail: My reply in which I offer to create a project/mailing list/website (but also point out my lack of time for more work on integration!!) 3rd mail: Gilbert says he would like to help define what it takes to build, not just a Java application that works, but a Java application that works with other Java applications 4th mail: My mail to Debian and GNU asking for existing Java-Distribution projects. BTW: I didn't get any reply, just one meaningless message. Probably there is no project of the kind I asked for. 5th mail: Gilbert thought about easing Java distribution. == It seems there is a necessity for something like a Java Distribution. (Well, JDistro carries that name but rather is a desktop, right?) If just Gilbert and I are interested in a collaboration of that kind, it makes no sense to create a new project and put more effort here. But if more of you (and further Java projects) had an interest, we should, as a first step, at least create a simple web page and mailing list so that I don't have to further bother uninterested parties with my cross-postings. All I need from you/your projects now is an answer: YES or NO. Of course, it would be helpful if you could give more hints, such as ideas for a name for the new project etc. Thanks, Christian |
