Well this is a huge ray of hope for the installed user base! It is wonderful that that you have these requirements and are working on such documentation. I am also thrilled to hear Sun plans this kind of commitment to stability moving forward. I hope your internal documentation can come in the form of links to documentation you have contributed to the project. Thanks Kathey
