Arnulf, I already submitted a request as requested by Tyler Mitchell. (That was actually a few days ago.)
We can always use a Google Group (or something similar) but I thought it was a topic of discussion suitable for the OSGeo, as did others. About how long will it take SAC to make a decision?

SAC is the place to ask for setting it up, so file them a ticket: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ (need to be logged in with your OSGeo account, select Component SAC). You should provide a rationale and a short description of what it is supposed to be used for. An additional concise one-liner is required for the description which appears here: http://lists.osgeo.org/ (there still are some without topic). If SAC has an issue with it they might push it over to the board to decide. I don't think that the standards list is the appropriate place to discuss Java collaboration. But on the other hand that list did not see too much traffic lately (although there seems to be quite a lot of need for people to bicker about as could be seen on Discuss recently... :-). But if you feel like it - go ahead and start to discuss there, once there is enough traffic to become a nuisance to other standards wanker you can have your own list.
