My company also uses Outrigger semi-frequently.
I didn't speak up when Patricia was asking about the implementation,
because I've not dug into the actual code that much.
That said, most of my aspirations for River revolve around improving
Javaspaces. (Unfortunately with a few compatibility breaks from the
existing version.)
I'll try to pass along my wishlist soon, just so it's on the record even
if I don't get around to contributing any code. If nothing else, it
should be useful for discussion.

Outrigger is a key service in a project that I am involved in. I see no reason
to remove it from the distribution, it provides a solid implementation of the
JavaSpace and JavaSpace05 interfaces. There are other services I would vote off
the island ;) but thats a topic for a different thread.

+1. You never know, this may yet convince someone who knows about
Outrigger to come back!

Many people are using Dan Creswell's Blitz JavaSpaces implementation or
commercial versions. I'm partially inclined to suggest that we should
discuss EOL of outrigger at some point. Even though Javaspaces is a large
part of what Jini has been recognized for, it has a focused audience and if
we don't have someone with knowledge and interest to support outrigger, it
may be more of a wart than River can deal with.
With River's recent revitalization let's not deprecate anything too
hastily. Conventional wisdom in Java app development has struggled to
hold its own against NoSQL and other interesting technologies. It
could be the perfect opportunity for Jini/JavaSpaces to gain new
interest.
