Hi Marcel, congratulations for this new initiative. Let me repeat here
what I'm already saying to all my colleagues, Apache Felix is THE most
vibrant and innovative open source community out there!

Incidentally I committed a couple of days ago a google code project at
http://code.google.com/p/felix4android/
that automates the creation of the felix distribution for android, as
explained in the felix documentation. Of course, you are miles ahead.

One clarification though: in the ezdroid website you write
"open-source, collaborative platform", but I don't see the code in the
website (yet?). Are you going to release everything as open-source
(android-specific extensions, tools and build/packaging)?

I'm definitely interested to contribute.
