Subject: re: where to go from here...get the PSF proposal right!

[Walter Chang]

I was hoping that Frank, Sean, Sameul, Oti and gang would have been
able to give some more concrete feed back....they are the leadership
of thiis project no?

My lack of contribution to the Jython effort compared to the endless hours
(weeks!) it has saved me in my day-job is a constant source of embarrassment
for me.

Somebody recently made the point that Jython gets a sort of commercial twang by
virtue of its association with Java. I think this is true and can be leveraged.
If we could just get a Sun or IBM or a BEA or a Nokia to donate - not cash -
but developer time - to Jython I think that would be a great way forward.

We are a small company compared to the Sun's, IBM's, BEA's or Nokia's of this world but I
would hope that we too would be able to contribute along these lines. To make such a
contribution of paid-for developer time, I need to make a case and answer the inevitable
question "who else is involved and helping out in this way?". I would love to
answer with some well known company names.

I guess what I'm saying is that what Jython badly needs is one or two
high-visibility donors of developer time. Donors sufficiently well-known to
attract other donors of similar size and smaller.

My 2 Cents,
Sean
