David, We have a new user list for OpenJUMP:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] We are trying to migrate our users to this new list. Some of the requirements for an OSGeo project our outlines here: http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/principles.html I've been reluctant to push OpenJUMP as an OSGeo project (although it is something I would like to see) because some of the requirements rub against the grain of our current programmer community. To become an OSGeo project you really need to adopt more formal governance procedures and policies. OpenJUMP has a rather informal programming community, and it seems there has been some pushback when I have suggested more formal policies in the past. Myabe we have evolved beyond this stage, but I'm still not sure. I think OpenJUMP would get a lot of publicity as an OSGeo project, but I'm not sure if it is currently worth enforcing a rigid structure on our contributin programmers and users. I do try to actively participate in OSGeo as a member of the OpenJUMP community. I hope this answers some of your questions.
