Brian,
although Lejos has been very successfully hosted by Sourceforge you may wish to 
consider starting this as a project under java.net.  There is a robotics 
community under there which this would fit very well into.

On the point of what version of Java to port, there is some interesting work 
from Sun Labs that I am hoping we can leverage.  This is a project called 
Squawk, which is a very small version of Java aimed specifically at embedded 
systems.  The majority of the code, including the GC, is written in Java (even 
device drivers) to make it easy to port.  If that's not enough the platform 
that we've been using to demonstrate this is a thing called a Sun SPOT (small 
programmable object technology - an acronym I'm sure that was thought up after 
the name :-) ).  This is an ARM7 based device with 256MB RAM and 2MBit Flash.  
Although a little bigger than I believe the new LEGO device, the requirements 
for Squawk easily fit in this (I can't remember the exact numbers, but will dig 
them out).

I will talk to the Sun Labs people running this project to see what the status 
of access to the code for Squawk is.  I know we're working with several 
universities to use this as a teaching platform, it may be possible to get 
access to it for a Lejos (or whatever it's called) port.

Regards,

Simon.
