Hi, Nate, hi Steve! Congrats! I would like to present a suggestion. A number of the technical magazines have sections for product announcements. In DDj, it's "Of Interest". I would suggest that a native JDK port enhanced to ELF is enough of a leap that it's worth sending them all a blurb release in the name of the FreeBSD Project and giving your ../java URL. We should not abuse this by annoying them with stuff about EVERY little point-release, but 1.1.7 is a platform many developers write to. Forrest Cavalier's ReUSE RKT is mentioned in April DDJ, and it's a real showcase for the FreeBSD source tree. In general, the more releases we can get into print, the more our visibility is enhanced. Needless to say, don't mention the bugfixes! I'm sure they're in your docs on the ../java page. TIA! -- Donald Wilde "Bringing the Internet to everyone!"
