Hi Wade-
Thanks for your interest in Jini and River. We're in the midst of some
good progress:
* getting out the first release ("Apache River Release v2.1.1").
This is more of a 'transition' release -- starting to integrate
the
two major code contributions (Jini Technology Starter Kit and
Service UI), settling on a release name, updating things for
Apache, and running through the release gauntlet
* having a web presence -- we never updated the River web area
when we got into the incubator. Obviously, that's not a good way
to attract interest. I've been working on a new site (it's a
confluence
wiki instance -- hopefully to make it easier for a group of
committers
to add stuff). More on this later today (trying to get a
couple of
formatting things corrected first).
* getting a starter bug fix list for our second release ("AR2").
If you
look in the project JIRA, you'll see a bunch of bugs committed to
the AR2 release.
So... we've obviously been slow to date - but things are (still) moving.
Glad for your interest and look forward to your engagement.
-Jim

Hello all,
I'm wondering if River is currently under development, or if it is
in limbo. I am interested in trying a couple things with JINI, and
I thought if those things pan out I might try to get into the
development side. Anyways, as this is a user perspective question
at the moment I thought I would first ask this.
Thanks,
Wade
