There seemed to be enough interest in keeping Jini.org going -- so
I paid our bill for the next year.   If anyone is interested in  
contributing,
you can send money via PayPal (to [email protected]) or contact
me to get my address to send a check.  If we gather more than the
$239.40 for this year, I'll put it towards keeping the site going for
the following year.

Thanks in advance to anyone who contributes.
