As we've already discussed this briefly at ApacheCon:
Great idea, count me in :) Makes totally sense to me.
We (= Sling Project) would also like to bring in the ideas of our
"kernel" (we call it launchpad). We provide it in two distributions:
as standalone and as a webapp. Felix M. has also done some clever
enhancements like we have a small bootstrap jar which then launches the
framework. This allows to even update the framework at runtime.
Let's make Felix (the project) the one stop shop for OSGi!
This also gets us back to:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-963
We need to rearrange the web site around subprojects.

(I think sooner or later we should also think about our current commons
sub project)

During ApacheCon last week, there has been some discussions around
moving ServiceMix Kernel as a subproject of Felix.
ServiceMix Kernel is a packaged distribution of Felix designed for
server side applications (see http://servicemix.apache.org/kernel/ for
more informations).
I think this would be beneficial for this project as it would enable
to build a much bigger community around it, increase the visibility
and the awareness around it. Of course, it would need a new name, but
that's another problem.
Another area that could be included in this move is the ServiceMix
specs (OSGi enhanced versions of Java EE specifications from Geronimo)
and ServiceMix bundles (we've released a bunch of bundles already, see
http://servicemix.apache.org/smx4/bundles-repository.html).
I'd like to have feedback from both communities (and any other
interested parties) to gauge the interest in such a move.
