Whoa Pekka, be nice. Let's just assume that Guillermo is sincere, and
he wants to help.
The problem isn't competence. All of us are competent. It's a lack of
time. All of us, I believe, have day jobs, and none of them are in GNU
Classpath development.

Guillermo, please. You phrased your point badly, in a way that was likely
to annoy people. I believe that you didn't want to do that.
Everyone: let's have a proper discussion. Is there something we can
do with GNU Classpath that takes it further forward. And, if so,
what? What would our goals be?
Andrew.
