Yes, think I've seen something similar before... ;)

I'd like a jdk7 forest for the work on IcedTea7.  I didn't know we'd
have the option of having more than one.  I quite like the idea of
having a forest for 6 too, but I'll let others on this list chime in
on whether they would be interested in taking this route or not.

Well, me to begin with :) I already have an OpenJDK username of
'andrew' from the challenge, assuming that's still active.
For others, I'd like to wait for some feedback from those working on 6.

I'm happy enough using distro-pkg-dev for discussion as we already do.
 An additional list for commits would be good (e.g. icedtea-commits)
and
we could then maybe also send traffic from the IcedTea repositories there too.

I'll try and come up with something tomorrow, probably along the same
lines as the proposal.  It'll mainly point to
http://icedtea.classpath.org/ as there's already a lot of information
there.
