Did a little cleanup and moved it to github: https://github.com/thegreatescape/oo
The names are just placeholders and can/will change. People interested in participating and belonging to the organization, let me know and I'll add you. The build server will be up later today, running unit tests on JavaFoundation and oo-foundation. If anyone can point out a good place to host a mailing list or discussion forum for the project, I'd love some pointers. Discussing clean re-implementation of Apple tech on an Apple mailing list doesn't seem quite right ;). I sincerely believe that if this project succeeds to any extent, it belongs with Project Wonder, but I want to add a little substance first—it's the sensible way, right?
