Hello all.

I'm interested in getting more involved with JContainer, but have some questions
about the scope and purpose:

" JContainer.org aims to become the first place Java programmers look for
information on component-oriented and container-driven development. "

To get right down to it, at one point I had hoped this is what Apache Avalon
would be, but I've changed my mind in that respect.  I'm still heavily involved
in Avalon and plan to remain so, but I also want to be involved in the larger
COP/IoC community and work on a project with a large scope -- to be *the* place
for COP/IoC development, tutorials, information, news, etc.

Right now JContainer seems mostly focused on DNA/Loom and I've seen some Spice
traffic here too.  My original impression of JContainer was that is was to be
the container equivalent to OSCOM (http://oscom.org/), at least within the java
field of things.  I would like to see news, tutorials, comparisons, articles,
white papers and so on.  Somewhere that one could get a glimpse of all the
related projects and the latest ideas.

Perhaps that is not the scope of JContainer and if not then perhaps I'll start
up something on my own.  I'm not even sure if such a project/site would work,
but I'm interested in it.

Is this the right place?  Thoughts?
