Since Harsh is unable to work on the project for the time being due to work pressures, we are scrambling to put together the JXTA Communications Layer. I'm working on design of the layer and both Robert Wei and Paulo Mouat have volunteered to work on the code. I've also put up a new ad for someone experienced in JXTA and sent requests for help to the JXTA User and Developer mailing lists. Anyone wishing to help out should let me know. -- Ray
