I didnt see Xavier look nervous. He looked confident, and the slides were nice. good animations.
People seemed interested, and there is a question occuring pretty frequently in ApacheCon: could we get closer to maven, and either reuse stuff from their code base, or the other way around, use Ivy as the dependency management engine for Maven.
I think what interested there was the pluggable resolution management. It gives you control in a very big/complex product.
This is something interesting IMO, but another hand I don't think we are big enough for the moment to get enough energy to go int his direction. I'd prefer to first concentrate on building a rock solid 2.0 version with even better ant integration, and then once we get graduated and released, see if we can concentrate energy on this focus... unless someone want to contribute stuff in this direction.
