  I'm also somewhat stretched and, therefore, can't
start yet another Luxor port. I invite you find
someone else to lead the project.

  My current priority is to move the Swing version of
Luxor forward (adding XForms support, XML Parsing
Pipeline support including Jakarta Jelly, Velocity XML
"Preprocessing" for Internationalization, plug-in
portlets, and more).

  However, I plan to start/resume work on Martin
Weindel's SWT port sometime this summer to make sure
Luxor doesn't get locked into Swing and can easily
ported to other UI toolkits such as Conga/Bongo in the
future.

  Finally why not ask Arthur van Hoff (now Chief
Smartberry) to fund your work. I guess he must have
made millions during his Marimba stint.

  It also would help if you move the source of
Conga/Bongo to sourceforge and clearify the licensing
model, otherwise, it looks like a single-vendor
close-sourced dead-end.
