Thanks, Edward. That's a very accomplished group!

Since you're sending this e-mail from a non-Linaro account, while CC:ing 
a number of people at Linaro, I am wondering which OCAs would you and 
other Committers plan to make contributions under. Can you elaborate, 
please?

That sounds fine to me.

I noticed that in your initial set of Committers Joseph Joyce is 
missing, while at the same time you seem to suggest using his externally 
developed code to jump-start this Project.

That seems a bit unusual - typically the original author of a new 
feature would want to continue to be actively involved during that 
feature's further development in an OpenJDK Project, so I'm curious for 
the rationale behind doing things differently in this case.

Can you and Joseph explain if you intend to use the template interpreter 
code you referenced in the new Project, and if so, how (i.e. under which 
OCA) it would be contributed to it? I'm asking since I don't see Joseph 
Joyce mentioned at [0], and slides you referenced unfortunately provide 
little information on that.

Last but not least, is there anyone else who has contributed to the code 
beside yourself, Joseph? Is there any code (or other materials) taken 
from other third party or open source projects in it?

cheers,
