Subject: Unified BSD/JDK port mailing list? To: 'FreeBSD Java mailing list' Message-id: <59063B5B4D98D311BC0D0001FA7E4522026D7807@l04.research.kpn.com> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Dear All, I am trying to get some form of infrastructure done to support work on a unified BSD JDK port. The idea is to supply those who are porting Sun's JDK to either FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and any other platform I've forgotten with a single web site for status reports and such. Unless someone steps forward on this ... *deafening silence* ... I will take that up and multi-bsd my web pages. On top of that, I would really like to have a single mailing list for these efforts, and I was wondering how much objection there is to using our Java mailing list for that purpose. I think that we will benefit from the extra technical discussion that this will attract. After all, we're all BSD's and what affects one is very likely going to affect others. Additionally, doing this will create a sense of unity amongst the BSD Java porters, which in turn will look good to the outside world (read: Sun) when we start jumping the hoops for legality of a NetBSD and OpenBSD binary distribution.

It's not as good at words as radio is because the pictures are a distraction which demand attention, and it's not as good as cinema because the pictures are not nearly as good.
