Hi,

one of the outstanding big merges was pulling the BeKaffe source back 
into the kaffe.org main tree. I've browsed the kaffe.org mailing list 
archives, and according to 
http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2001-June/026341.html

Tomaso> It won't require great changes to the current CVS source base,
Tomaso> we have been a nice project living in separate BeOS directories :-)
Tomaso> The only shared changes that come to mind is the addition of two
Tomaso> unharmful lines into the configure.in and ltconfig scripts.

Judging by http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2001-June/026345.html 
the developers have met cleanroom conditions and stayed away from Sun's 
sources, which makes a merge possible.

Off list, I had a conversation going with Bernd T. Korz, from YellowTab. 
They would be interested in seing a current version of kaffe on their 
platform. Given that a patch exists [1] to allow open office builds to 
use kaffe, and they want to port openoffice to their platform,  kaffe 
could help bring OpenOffice to Zeta faster.

So my question is quite simple: are there any BeKaffe developers left 
who would be interested in the merge, or could assist in some way?

cheers,
