Is there any interest in an apache-licensed version of jgroups? I am thinking something along these lines:
1. Well-understood layered architecture, of x-kernel, Ensemble, and JGroups fame. 2. Performance-focused: low thread count per protocol layer (0+), no java serialization. 3. Simple: implement best-of-breed protocols only, and provide pre-assembled protocol stacks. 4. Release 1.0 with basic protocols: membership, mnak, flow control, etc. I would be happiest with an arrangement where somebody junior would code it and I would serve as an advisor (if needed) based on my experience with EVS4J, with the actual coder taking the credit for it. I would like to see Geronimo evolve quickly into an industrial strength server (which I think it will) so I can stop using all the other app servers .. Guglielmo
