  Well, I can barely spell java.Doubt I can help 'em.
Talking about the newsletter contents,it would be
great to trace down the support of java in GNU/Linux
by Blackdown project before IBM released their JVM and
green thread's stuff.

BTW let keep it off the technical track, what am
talking is how java support evolved before corp'
pitched in, and the current crises and comments.
