LOL. I don't know about any spankings, but I'll try to help out if I can. I have been watching JINI from afar for years, and have been eager to play with it. I have some needs which seem to suit it. I sent an email to the dev list with more details, but certainly looking forward to trying it out. I noticed you are part of cheiron (not sure how to pronounce it). I am looking at it and Rio right now along with downloading River. So, looking forward to learning more and possibly jumping in and being an active part. Some of us have even talked about maybe trying to use it for some things in NetBeans to make a GridIDE, but as everyone is busy we haven't actually progressed passed the initial though ;-).
