Correct, and you were also correct in your earlier message that we plan to morph the sponsor program into a mentor program that we hope will be much lighter weight.

Yes. scm-migration-dev has been discussing some aspects of this, and some of us (Jim, me, Mark, Bonnie among others) have been discussing more, and hope to make the results of those discussions public soon. As in, I think we expect to publish a roadmap within a few weeks. If that turns out to be wrong, one of us will publish a correction here. -- John http://blogs.sun.com/jbeck
