Hi,
Thanks Raghu, I will try to make this clear.
Gemini Project leads: Unless their are any objections I will make the changes I have outlined below with the following text.
Gemini (Enterprise Modules Project)The Gemini project is all about modular implementations of Java EE technology. It is a collection of implementations of some of the OSGi Enterprise specifications. Each sub-project is a separate and standalone project that provides unique functionality. They can be used in isolation, in combination or with other OSGi bundles to compose a desired OSGi runtime. Brief outlines of each sub-project are below, please visit the sub-projects' pages for more detailed information. All sub-projects share the Gemini Forum for discussions.
Gemini BlueprintThe reference implementation of the OSGi Blueprint Service defined in chapter 121 of the OSGi 4.2 Enterprise Specification. This project was originally called Spring DM before being donated to Eclipse and becoming Gemini Blueprint.
Gemini ManagementImplements the JMX Management Model Specification defined in chapter 124 of the OSGi 4.2 Enterprise Specification. It provides a set of MBeans that allows for the administration of an OSGi runtime, the framework and its bundles and services, over JMX.
Gemini DBAccess Provides modularized distributions of JDBC drivers suitable for running in OSGi. It provides an OSGi Service so that bundles can import and access features of the driver without having to package the driver within their own bundles. Defined in chapter 125 of the OSGi 4.2 Enterprise Specification.
Gemini NamingImplements support for Java Naming and Directory Interface™ within an OSGi environment as defined by the JNDI™ services specification in chapter 126 of the OSGi 4.2 Enterprise Specification.
Gemini JPAA modular implementation of Java Persistence API (JPA) service specification defined in chapter 127 of the OSGi 4.2 Enterprise Specification. This project supports the OSGi JPA service specification approach that enables clients to use JPA in an OSGi framework.
Gemini WebGemini Web is the Reference Implementation of the Web Applications Specification from the OSGi Alliance, defined in chapter 128 of the OSGi 4.2 Enterprise Specification. It provides support for running enterprise web applications within an OSGi framework.

Hi,
I would like to suggest the following two things in any new text.
1) Emphasize the difference between "Gemini Blueprint" and "OSGi Blueprint". It is easy to gloss over and conflate these two if the difference is not explicitly highlighted (at least, I did).
2) Mention that Gemini blueprint is the new "Spring DM".
Thanks,
Raghu

Hi,
I answered a forum questions last week from a new OSGi user and they were generally quite confused about the difference between Gemini, Virgo, Spring, Aries and so on. They made the good point that the Gemini home page could be better at explaining things. I'd like to have a go at updating it unless anyone objects. I'm thinking of removing the header as the download, community etc.. pages just link to each of the sub-projects. Moving links to things like forums and mailing lists to the side bar and in the main body putting in a new overview of Gemini and a short paragraph about each project with a link to their respective home pages.
If no one objects I'll put some text on here and then move it to the website if everyone is happy. Hopefully all this in time for the next Gemini call.
Chris.
