Hi Jeff,

There's another alternative. I've added the specifications to the wiki

The spec pages are locked so they can only be changed by certain
people (currently me and Jim H). I could set up a group containing
Apache River committers if the expectation is that the specs will be
managed by said folk from here forward.
Perhaps it would be meaningless to host the specs at Jini.org given
that the Apache River committers would also be spec committers. On the
other hand, the separation would seem to be healthy both in indicating
to outsiders that Apache River is not the only implementation and in
helping the committers keep the two distinct in terms of change
process.
In the furture I hope that we can find the time and energy to move the
specs into the javadoc in a way similar as was done for all the work
since the Davis project.
At least for the stuff that requires maintenance (as John McClain did
with JavaSpaces05) we can do a bit of migration I guess.
Also I am of the opinion that the specs (was are no longer community
standards) should be maintained at the River project. Having the specs
at Jini.org can bring confusion and is extra work if you want to keep
them in sync.
