I'm quoting response from Nick Gallardo - Wink team below. There is no public discussions on the Wink list about the issue at this point. "The source is not committed anywhere as of yet. We are working through the final legal clearances on our side to be able contribute this code to Apache. The legal work is set to complete in the very short term, at which point the code will go to Wink.
Optimally, this work would be included as an optional module within Wink. Given the usefulness of consuming something like this outside of the runtime, perhaps a separate downloadble module is the best answer. When the code is fully integrated, a release of Wink should be done to make this fully available and not just part of a snapshot."

Can you refer us to the discussions on the Wink list about this json library? Is the source committed anywhere yet? Will this library be independent of wink or bundled with other software?
