I do think that a nice read of "The Cathedral and the Bizarre" would
be good for River enthusiasts right now. One thing that form first
function second (building a framework, application, etc. without
client input, pretty much all open source) must seek is constant
feedback from clients, user groups. Lack of interest is a huge signal
that something is wrong. This is especially so with a framework like
JavaSpaces or JINI that is supposed to have very wide applicability.
A number of readers have recommended that I use various sources that
have taken up JavaSpaces without JINI. I would much rather have a
shot at JavaSpaces that is separate from but aligned with JINI so that
future choices about using JINI would not be foreclosed or made more
difficult by present choices to use JavaSpaces.

I didn't say you were a dodo :-D Anyways, forget that, see my other
reply to your points. Seems the only real area I disagreed with you
there is no javaspaces no jini.
