Depends on what you wish to do. There are two options: 1. Simple util code that illustrates a point (ie almost mini-tutorial). This stuff sits on the utils page of www.j3d.org and is left completely as-is. No further development is done and you can pretty much put any license you like on it (although don't expect us to include some form of click-through) 2. Code repository. More stringent, but maintained - either by us or by you. If it is a significant chunk of code, you can also get CVS write access if you wish to maintain it (case-by-case basis as the way it is currently structured, if you have write access to the code repository, you have access to _everything_ in j3d.org so I am very cautious to whom I give permissions out to). Code here is must be licensable under the GNU LGPL, although you (or your company) can keep the copyright. For coding style, I want to keep everything fairly consistent. I don't have style guidelines up, but people keep asking for them so I should do something about it :) General things I look for a block-style brackets, no cyclic compile dependencies, inner-class usage, independence from the Sun util code, and of course, my favourite, good javadoc. -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/ Freelance Java Consultant http://www.yumetech.com/ Author, Java 3D FAQ Maintainer http://www.j3d.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Humanism is dead.
