So now we agree, the eco-system is more than just java. It would be
great to have multiple implementations of Shindig, as has started
with the PHP work, and where they need a build system they use
whatever is the most appropriate. Hopefully being an unbiased eco
system, some would evolve and grow and some will die. I guess all
depend on who wants to do the work, and who wants to use the outputs.
Surely that will drive what happens here ?
As a potential consumer of Shindig outputs, all I need is that it
runs well on Linux/BSD and talks over http.
When you say life outside java being fresher.... which language were
you thinking of?

to the fact that there is life outside java and that, increasingly as
the java ecosystem freezes and ossifies, life outside java is fresher
and evolving faster. No radical changes will work here, but to start
moving such a big inertia requires a high amount of thrust and bashing
;-) And it seems like pushing in this direction is the only healthy
behavior against lock-in, much like pushing for linux/BSD and against
windows was the way to go in from 1995 onwards. For the health of the
global computing environment. I might be wrong, of course.
