On May 23rd we were asked by Tom Marble to consider sponsoring the 
creation of the fbtoolkit project [1].   I'd like to wrap up the 
discussion on this request; tying up loose threads as it were.

It seems to me that the proposed project is actually much more related 
to AWT than Swing.  In fact, it looks like the AWT group is planning to 
hold a vote on sponsoring this project in the next week. [2]   Also, 
apart from the initial flurry of procedural questions, we haven't seen 
much discussion on this topic and none of the swing-dev members has 
expressed an opinion.  Given these things, I think it would be best to 
defer to the decision of the AWT group on the question of sponsorship.  
I plan to let the request expire without calling for an official vote 
from the swing-dev group.
