Moving the ball: maintaining/updating infos on BSF website and ...

Hi there,

is there anyone who feels responsible for bringing the BSF WWW-site up 
to date?

At the moment the information in "docs/" is very outdated, but it seems 
that that branch is used for the material displayed on 
<http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf>. There is a branch "xdocs/" which seems 
to not be reflected at all (eg. "xdocs/projects.xml").

Then, there would be clearly a need for a daily/current "bsf.jar" such 
that interested party can get the latest drop.

Then, there is a need to change the Apache license text to 2.0 in all 
source files.

Then, there would be a need for a procedure to finally bring the current 
drop of BSF to GA level and start to test and work with BSF 3.0, which 
should be interface compatible with the upcoming Java scripting 
interface (much of the initial work has been thankfully done already by 
Sanka and Nandika, if I am not mistaken).

So is there a procedure in place already which we just need to re-activate?

How should we proceed?

Regards,

---rony

Also another question to add to these open ones: I have been 
contemplating to submit the Java part of the BSF Rexx engine, but not 
the platform dependent C++ JNI code, such that other BSF engine 
implementors could take advantage of the set of string-only interfaces 
to interact fully with BSF and Java. Possibly this would help them to 
"jump-start" to a full implementation (e.g. array handling is eased 
quite considerably for non-Java based language implementations). Now, 
would that be helpful, make sense at all?
(It should be always possible to get at the source and compiled code by 
getting the BSF4Rexx package.)

Regards,

---rony

I'll see whether I can fix it during this weekend.
