I am ready and willing to jump in, I am sure there are others as
well.
cool
apache is often described as a do-ocracy: we get together to do stuff
- and the stuff we do is open source software :-)
one way to start kicking things off would be for people that have
energy to start throwing around ideas about directions and
developments that interest them
(hopefully other people will jump in with other suggestions about ways
to break the ice)
Hi Robert,
As a manner of introduction, I have been working with Jini technology
for almost a decade and direct the Rio project (https://www.rio-project.org
) that uses Jini technology for a number of key capabilities. I have
been in the "do" business for a number of years :)
My concern with River is the inactivity and the eventual void that
will be left when the Sun committers move on. Mark Hodapp had
indicated that Sun's involvement is complete (see http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-river-dev/200808.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED])
, and my subsequent reply for status (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-river-dev/200808.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
) was left unanswered.
With Bob Scheifler's last email I would think that the project really
needs to make a decision on how to move things forward. Its not just
about fixing the issues that are in Jira (there are quite a few), but
also a matter of relevance and visibility. Those of us that latched on
to Jini technology back when it started, and had the opportunity to
develop and deploy Jini technology based systems certainly want to
keep the River flowing (sorry).
If I can be of help, please let me know.
Regards
Dennis
