Porter Project Proposals submitted for community approval

Sun Microsystems, Inc. is submitting 22 Proposals covering both
licensing and technical changes to 40 existing specifications plus one
new specification to the Jini Community for approval as Standards
under the Jini Community Decision Process (JDP). The number of
specifications is large in part because we are proposing to change
their licensing, switching away from the Sun Community Source License
(SCSL), and moving to the Apache License, Version 2.0 plus the Jini
Community Standards Patent Non-Assertion Covenant. The number of
proposals is large because, based on earlier feedback from the
community, we have placed independent specification changes into
independent proposals.

The materials comprising the Proposals are:
 * Summaries of the proposed technical changes
 * New and revised specifications, licensed under the Apache License,
   Version 2.0 plus the Jini Community Standards Patent Non-Assertion
   Covenant
 * Marked-up differences between existing and proposed standards
   (subject to the limitations of JDiff, and change bars in PDF files)
 * The Jini Technology Starter Kit v2.1Beta release, which includes
   source and binary implementations of the proposed specifications
 * Test suites

The Proposals are available here:

We encourage everyone in the community to review these proposals, with
discussion taking place on [email protected].
