[news.eclipse.technology.ohf] Re: Any more information?

["Brian Barry" <brian@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I expect to see a revised proposal posted this week..it will have a lot more
specific information about what OHF is trying to do, a swag at development
schedules, what's in/out of scope, etc.  Given your interests I think this
is actually the newsgroup to be on. Although like most projects early
discussions happened in other media, we are trying to move them all to this
newsgroup.

In particular we would appreciate your feedback on the new proposal.  I'll
put a post up here when it's done..but this week for sure. If you decide
you'd like to participate by all means let us know.
