Every project starts "in the secret". If you like to come up with something 
that looks seriously and that is working, you need to prepare it. Even SchilliX 
was not done within 3 days between June 14th and June 17th 2005 but in the six 
months before and few people did know about this.

Eric Raymond said: "Release early and release often". He did not say release 
immediately.....

At that time Sun did say we are willing to talk with six fou you (but not John 
Groenveld). I see no relation to the sutuation we currently have. Oracle is not
talking with the community and if this did change, the OGB did announce this in 
public.
