Subject: Future of www.blackdown.org...


Ok, I've come to terms with the fact that what I do now, and what I'll
be doing for many months to come just doesn't leave me enough time for
java-linux anymore. 

I think it's unfair for me to continue maintaining the web pages, the
lists, and the mirror sites when I don't personally have the time
to make them what they should be. 

In addition, all these resources are still housed at my old place of work, 
which I'm having troubles justifying to them at this point :)

The following things are going to happen. First off, java.blackdown.org
and www.blackdown.org are most likely going to be disassociated with
all of this. Second, I'm looking for someone, or several people willing
to take on hosting and maintenance of the java-linux web site, 
the mailing lists, the mailing list archives, the mirror database, 
the mirror tree, and the bug reporting, request, and help emails
that used to come my way, along with the maintenance of the java-linux
howto. There might be a few other things I've forgetten about as well. 

So far as the requirements for taking over these things, well, I really
don't know. I'd like any responses to be posted to the java-linux mailing list
so that others can take part in deciding who should take on what (assuming
anyone wants to take on any of this at all). 

All that said, it's been a pleasure working with the devoted people of
the java-linux community, and hopefully providing the right level of support
to keep everything in motion. At this point though, there's bound to be
somewhere out there that can really do this side of the JDK-Linux more 
justice than I've recently been able to. 

Thanks again, 
Karl Asha
