Bjorn,

I think Eclipse Monkey is about enabling scripting in Eclipse. Renaming it 
Groovy Eclipse Monkey I think takes away from the goal of having pluggable 
scripting languages for general purpose Eclipse scripting (for example, we 
support Ruby now in Eclipse Monkey in our Aptana Studio product).

I think keeping it more general, and adding Groovy support, as was the original 
pan with James joined, would still be a worthwhile path.

James,
I would be happy for you to take over Eclipse Monkey as Goovy Monkey (or Groovy 
Eclipse Monkey).  I suggest we do so by starting over and creating a new 
project (technology.monkey). Then you and the new committers would have 
complete control over the project rather than having it be a sub-component of 
the current Dash projects.

I believe that Eclipse Monkey has a small but dedicated user base - what it 
needs now is a similarly dedicated set of committers. You could be the one to 
make that happen.

I would be happy to migrate my groovy monkey tool into Eclipse Monkey, since 
the whole project appears to be moribund.  There are alot more features I want 
to add and would love the opportunity to distribute that work to the most 
people possible.

I know that I was made a member back about a year ago and due to personal 
circumstances, I was not able to follow up and now my membership seems kinda 
dead.

I would love it if some ppl took a look at groovy monkey ( 
http://groovy-monkey.sourceforge.net/update 
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Groovy+Monkey ) and see if that is the way that they 
would like this project to go.

Thanks,
James
