Hi Craig,
Thanks for the reply. I was not aware that a member of the community
could move things forward, thats very interesting.
Could the project (committers) provide some feedback on this? I had
asked a similar question on AR2 (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-river-dev/200807.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
) back on July 24th.
Again, if there is something that I can help with, let me know
Thanks and regards
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
It's good to see a community actively using the technology, with an
interest in moving River forward.
The ability of River to graduate from incubation and server the
wider community is dependent on folks to pick up the ball and run
with it.
I don't follow River closely, but it appears that the code base is
close to ready for release, and if that is the case, one of the
committers should pick up the task and release the code.
If none of the committers is up to the task, then one of the
community can do it. Let's see what the community response is.

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
