On May 23rd we were asked by Tom Marble to consider sponsoring the
creation of the fbtoolkit project [1]. I'd like to wrap up the
discussion on this request; tying up loose threads as it were.
It seems to me that the proposed project is actually much more related
to AWT than Swing. In fact, it looks like the AWT group is planning to
hold a vote on sponsoring this project in the next week. [2] Also,
apart from the initial flurry of procedural questions, we haven't seen
much discussion on this topic and none of the swing-dev members has
expressed an opinion. Given these things, I think it would be best to
defer to the decision of the AWT group on the question of sponsorship.
I plan to let the request expire without calling for an official vote
from the swing-dev group.
