Well it looks like we might be getting an early Christmas present this year – the project that was Jini – has been formally submitted by Geir Magnusson Jr. to the Apache Incubator mailing list to be formally accepted as a podling under the name of River. The voting shoud finish by tomorrow – Dec 23rd (actually today now as it is two minutes past midnight..) – and has been very positive so far. Trawling through the apache list I havent yet seen a negative vote.

Dan and Jim have also commented on this. Well done everyone!
