:) All tongue-in-cheek comments aside, I think Berin has a point and whether it happens here or at D-Haven or wherever, it is a good idea. Couple of quick comments: * I think the 'goal' of Merlin to be very simple, especially for the users. How close we are to that goal is perhaps another thing. * I would bet that Stephen (and perhaps some of the other developers) would see OSGi [1] as a competitor to Avalon/Merlin more than PicoContainer, Jicarilla, Spring and Hivemind. At least that is the impression I get seeing the current direction and push. Can Merlin be a 'Zen Framework'? Should we jump to Java 1.5? Now? Ever? Can we be scalable enough to compare to both Pico and OSGi? I'm not sure at the moment, but that's the point of this discussion. J.
