I have two thoughts on this. I didn't care for HotJava back when it was alive. It seems to be an injustice to revive it after it finally expired. But, more importantly, it seems to be that to artificially recussitate a project is ... well ... artificial. If a community sprang up around HotJava (or anything else) spontaneously, I would be 100% in favor of us adopting it and giving it a home. But trying to do this artificially seems to ask for failure. You can't fake this. It's got to come from folks that are actually interested. I'm unclear on one point - are you genuinely interested? Perhaps I should actually read the site that you linked to ... -- Rich Bowen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Author - Apache Administrator's Guide http://www.ApacheAdmin.com/
