Hello,
  
  As I've written before I'm quite stretched and you
can't expect me to do everything.

  If anyone is interested in the challenge I invite
you to take over as project lead for the Luxor Swing
branch.

  If anything is holding you back, please let me know.
For example, if you're put off by the GNU GPL license,
please note that I plan to switch over the Luxor XUL
toolkit license to an Apache-Style license over the
next couple of weeks once the Memphis Sun online poll
closes. (See
http://luxor-xul.sourceforge.net/sun/2004/02/poll_what_license_do_you_prefer_for_the_luxor_xul_toolkit.html
   ). 

  Also note, that I won't disappear but I plan to
focus my development effort on the Luxor Eclipse/SWT
branch.

  As I've written before I think it's best to use two
different separate code bases so every branch can
freely add whatever is needed without worrying about
breaking the other branch.

  I don't think there's any value in trying to build a
XUL toolkit that lets you switch the underlying UI
toolkit at runtime. Instead let's keep it simple and
let every branch add whatever "backend" services or
code-behind fits in and works best with the underlying
UI toolkit.

  Let me know what you think or if anyone wants to
take up the challenge.
