I think the more relevant (and pragmatic) question is: What can we do to
make the Blackdown team status more visible? Clearly many questions and
concerns would be eliminated if the web pages had a regular status update --
this would help you to fend off flames and persistent questions as well.
I realize that some effort has gone into this already, but the web pages
currently only give the JCK status -- which, as you say, is not the entire
story.
I'm happy to help out in this regard, e.g., make a "Java porting news"
web page with regular updates e-mailed to me from someone on the Blackdown
team. It's probably easier for someone on the Blackdown team to maintain
such a page, but you may not have the time.
Clearly we are all appreciative of what you've done. Most of us are so used
to the true "open source" model, however, that the fact that the Blackdown
port is going on inside of a black box makes it difficult for people to know
what's going on. When things move at "Internet speed", keeping us posted is
that much more important.
Thanks much!
