[Scope-dev] Collaboration [0]

[Christian H. <chr...@tu...>]

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
