Hi Charles, Thanks for going through the paperwork and apologies for the late reply. I have CCed the classpath mailinglist so others can chip in with advise and help (and hopefully do it in a more timely matter then I did!).

RMI was just one suggestion, there are other things you can work on (see below). But someone that wants to become our RMI expert is badly needed. We do have lots of code for RMI and even some people who actually use it with their programs, but nobody that really maintains it. If you want a simple entry point in the RMI code and want to know what kind of things are broken then you can look at the work that Norbert Frese did a while ago. (His paperwork had also cleared now). http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2004-q1/msg00080.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2004-q1/msg00081.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2004-q1/msg00082.html He also made some interop tests that can be found at http://www.scheinwelt.at/~norbertf/gcj/tests/ and that are described in the following thread: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2004-01/msg00022.html Note that gcj (GNU Compiler for Java) is one of the main users of the GNU Classpath library. Make sure you contact Norbert to ask whether or not he still has time to work on this and/or whether you can work together on this. Other RMI related issues are described in the following thread: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2004-02/msg00025.html The concern Getting the Jonas Carol framework working with our implementation (http://carol.objectweb.org/) and/or the Cajo framework from John Catherina, who is eager to get the Cajo working on free runtimes.) https://cajo.dev.java.net/ If you are looking for other things to work on for GNU Classpath then Patrik Reali made a list of tasks for people that want to work on GNU Classpath. See http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/tasks.html There are certainly other things people can help with that are not yet listed there. (Updates for smaller and bigger tasks for that list are really appreciated!) Cheers, Mark
