There has been some limited discussion on the old JUMP user mailing list about making OpenJUMP an OSGeo Project. It seems there is some energy and support for this idea. I think this may have changed from a year ago.
I'd like to propose the following: Two or three of our core programmers and users can examine the requirements to become an OpenJUMP project. We can look at what we would need to change, and what work would be involved. They could then produce a short list of benefits and drawbacks. We can consult with David Sampson, who is familiar with the process. We can then discuss the results of this informal analysis and perhaps have a vote on the way to move forward, after addressing major concerns. I'm thinking we could have this analysis done by the end of June or middle of July? If we can't do that we probably don't have any business trying to be an OSGeo project in the first place. I'd be willing to help out, since I'm already involved in the OSGeo on a limited basis, but we should have two or three other people also take a look. Any volunteers?
