Gordon makes some good points. I'd like to add that I think historically a big part of the hassle isn't actually necessarily solely the API but also having to configure and manage the intermediary, and I think we need to look there as well if we want to simplify the overall pattern. It's also wort

We are currently in the process of implementing the proton-jni binding for the proton-c library that implements the Java Proton-API, allow Java users to choose the C based proton stack if they wish.

I'm in favor of combining them all into one. If not that, then at least collapse the "proton" list. The level of traffic on that list isn't unreasonable, and, frankly, keeping it separate probably leads to some of the confusion we're seeing over the goals of this project. -K - Origina

I'd agree with Gordon. 1. We should keep the Message as a pure value object without any sort of coupling to Messenger or other objects. 2. I'm in favor of layering features on top of a generic flexible core component rather than putting them all in the same layer. This allows us the freedom t

I agree that the qpid and proton users should be on the same list. Also, it's useful for much of the development info to be open to the users list. My only concern for a second list is for things that committers may need to talk about but which the larger user community doesn't care about. For e

I think you raise a good point about the goals of the project being confused, but don't think the cause here is mailing lists. As we've seen, recent threads have asked about "qpid vs proton", and to a lot of us this is an odd thing to ask about because we think of proton as part of qpid. However we
