Sweet!
So, Karaf will bring together the goodness of Felix, with the runtime
& shell of SMX Kernel, to provide a distribution that will be OSGi
neutral. *nice*.

+1 for the name, and +1 for bringing together the felix and SMX
kernels
communities.
One question though: will Karaf be intimately tied to the Felix OSGi
implementation? I think that Karaf would be stronger if we can
show that it
works over any OSGi compliant core. Thoughts, anyone?
I agree with this statement. Some work is needed to be able to
achieve that, as it's a bit tied to felix right now, but I don't see
any technical issues.
Most of Felix sub projects are independant of the felix runtime, and
even if I don't necesseraly really see Karaf shipping equinox by
default, I do envision an easy way to switch. Or maybe provide two
distributions by default, why not ?
If we use the new embedding api then it is just a matter of replacing
the felix.jar with the equinox.jar on the classpath. Some slides on
this topic:

I agree, this sounds like a win-win for all involved (as per
James /
Guillaume's post).
As a name submission I'd like Carafe (pronounced "karaf"). A
carafe is
a small container used for serving wine and other drinks
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carafe). In similarity to the
name the
Kernel allows applications to be more easily handled, and
improves
their characteristics (much like a bottle of wine left to
breath in a
decanter) :)
What about Karaf to lower the google hit counts and still
preserve the
nice semantic ...
... and eventually fill the "K" hole of the Apache TLP names
list (in
case it ever becomes a TLP later).
And K == Kernel etc :)
+1 am liking it.
Easy to remember, spell and google search. Unless anyone can
think of
a better idea. (My ideas were all terrible :)
