Re: [jira] Created: (RIVER-311) Preservation of Mail Lists and Documentation External to the River Project

[Jim Waldo <Ji...@sun.com>]

An update on this issue (since it has been a while)...

I've tracked down the Jini-users and javaspace-users archives, and  
should be getting gzip'd copies in the next day or so. I will need to  
get these through legal review for open source release, but the local  
labs lawyers are pretty good about this (especially since these  
mailing lists were public from the start, so this shouldn't take much  
effort or time, except that there are lawyers involved).

Once I get that clearance, I will post the files to the  
project...sorry that this has taken so long, but there are various  
other priorities that have made it hard to get folks at Sun to focus  
on things like this.
