The forums IS the place where it was developed. Julien is in Paris at the moment doing consulting, he won't be responsive. The nukes project is 100% funded by JBoss Group at this point so we would welcome input and code for advanced functionality. You are welcome to build modules for it as your own project in sourceforge, you will need to market it yourself and if you are succesful we would fold you back in the JBoss distribution, or... You can't start contributing right here and we can see what kind of contribution you make before we go around changing location and brand.
