[Alexander Ziegler <alexander.ziegler@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jan,

Thanks for your interesting in the Riena authentication and 
authorization area. A cooperation in this area sounds good. Currently, 
there is no base to merge your project code with Riena code because the 
Riena project still isnât created.

The Creation Review is scheduled for December. After the successful 
Creation Review the Riena project becomes incubate-state and the CVS, 
Bugzilla and mailinglist will be created. Our offered initial code 
contribution will be committed into the CVS. We hope that all that will 
be done at the beginning of January. In other words, as soon as the 
Riena initial code is available, you are welcome to support and 
contribute to the Riena project. Please understand that we have to 
follow the official eclipse process which describes how new code will be 
contributed into an Eclipse project (bugzilla bug entry). Thanks.

Regards,
Alexander
