To summarize the replies in this thread:
#1 Require Java 6: Should be voted on. We voted on it and it was agreed
to make the change to Java 6.
#2 Remove Cloudscape support: No disagreement on that issue, so no vote
is necessary. I will work on making that change in the near future.
#3 Remove the Shark component: Should be voted on. Voting thread not
started yet.
#4 Include Birt: The only issue is licensing, so no voting is necessary.
Many thanks to David for getting the Java 6 voting thread started!

Lately there there have been some discussions about making big changes to the
trunk. I would like to suggest that we summarize those proposed changes, create
a voting thread for each change, and then send a friendly announcement to the
user mailing list about the proposed changes that won the vote.
In the USA we are in the midst of a major holiday, so we need to give others
plenty of time to respond. So, how about this: let's list our proposed changes
in this thread and wait a few days for responses. Sometime next week we can
start the voting threads. About a week after that, summarize the voting results
and send an announcement to the user mailing list. What do you think?
To get things started, here are the proposed changes I am aware of:
1. Require Java 6
2. Remove Cloudscape support
3. Remove the Shark component
Feel free to add others to the list.
