I'm glad it was useful. I thought it had just disappeared into a black hole.

Great. I am happy to support you as project lead. I would like to contribute to this project in whatever way I can, although this has to be a 'spare' time activity for me as my current job is not related to OpenJDK in any way. May I request you include me as a committer on this project even if I am not able to contribute very much.

Next thing is to get a Group Lead to sponsor the project.

Dalibor: Would you be happy to sponsor this? It seems eminently the sort of project the Porters group should be involved with?

All the best,
Ed
