Hi all,

The first step before we really can get started is the initial source
drop by Sun and Artima. While it feels rude to initiate this by me, I
think it is worth having a discussion about what gets dropped. I hope,
but please correct me if I'm wrong, the fastest way to get this done is
by stating my opinion as a proposal.

Below you will find my proposal as to what I would like to see become
the baseline from where the River project should start following the
roadmap we have to craft.

1) ServiceUI version 1.1a

2) Outstanding issues, if any, against ServiceUI version 1.1a

3) JTSK code version 2.1.1 [1], all parts which Sun can transfer to the
   ASF, even the code we will likely remove [2] according to the roadmap

4) Outstanding issues against JTSK version 2.1.1

[1] my main motivation for bringing in the latest public version of the
JTSK and not a newer version is that many people are familiar with 2.1.1
and it will be this version that people have patches against that are
not yet incorporated by Sun. Also I think the integration of the code
modifications between the main/internal version branch of Sun and
version 2.1.1 will be a good exercise for the initial committers and
those interested in becoming one to get acquainted with the process 'in
place'.

[2] I realize 'what to be left out' has been questioned in the Jini
community, but I can't recall there was a conclusion. Therefore to me it
seems to make sense to have that discussion here, in the hope it can be
swift.
