Journal Journal: Re:Reports of Red Hat's death at Oracle's hand are premature

If there was a core group with external developers, this is a potentially awesome undertaking, and one in which we could enjoy doing.

Those of us who use it KNOW it's incredible functionalities and breadth of uses. Contact me if you're interested. /fred
