with respect, the technical considerations were just that: technical. For instance, eclipse has wiki, and svn, and other things can be hosted. There were deeper issues to do with community motivation and the way this relates to licensing and how relationships are built and managed. The eclipse rules are rather imposing in these regards, and there is cultural differences between the communities. I still think that collaboration will make sense, but we are not at this point right now. Grahame OHF project lead.
