There is a huge difference between “needing help” in that area (as you put it) and “having someone else do it for us”.
For #3 to work, IMO two things need to be done: 1) Skinning (obvious) 2) All the ActiveMQ related code needs to be moved into the ActiveMQ project. If someone is using ActiveMQ and wants to contribute changes to how the console looks or displays items or such, they should be making contributions to ActiveMQ, not some external community (open source, free, or otherwise). The hawt.io “framework” of libraries and such can remain outside, but the ActiveMQ specific portions needs to be part of this community. If it’s going to be the visible frontend of this project, we need to make sure it drives the developer willing to contribute enhancements into ActiveMQ. If the hawt.io community is unwilling (or unable) to do the second part, then, IMO, #3 is a non-starter. If they ARE willing to do that, then great. Lets start figuring out how to get that done. But that’s something that would need to be discussed on their side first.
