infrastructure update: wiki location, etc.

[Jack Moxley]

If there is anything I can do to contribute just ask.

  By day I write fx/treasury systems for a bank, but, and despite its   obvious use, I doubt I would be allowed to provide any sunlight inspired   ideas in that capacity. :-)

By night I am yet another java developer writing yet another language for the JVM, and having a common interface to every piece of hardware is core to its feature base. Project Sumatra fits that requirement, so if you need the half witted opinion of a DIY coder look no further :-). 

Jack.

  You are welcome.

Generally these experiments will allow us to mockup up some potential Sumatra programming model ideas and use Aparapi as a proxy for Sumatra as we experiment with the models.  
  
  Good.  Please do so.  The wiki will have a limited number of "editors", mainly due to administration limitations; I have added you to the list.
  
  Anyone who registers with the Oracle wiki can add page comments, which should be enough to organize requests for more information.

But it might be good to collect such ideas in a central location. This way folk can contribute ideas, or volunteer to do some research/experimentation/prototyping.
  
  
  In general, email is best for information with a short shelf life.  All email to sumatra-dev is archived here:

  The wiki should be used for information which is likely to be worth maintaining in the long term, or (in a few cases) for to-do lists that the community is committed to maintaining.
