I would love to see a group of people work around the topic of enabling
better add-a-new-language support in Eclipse. But it takes a leader to
make that happen, so we're currently waiting for a leader to step up and
say "yes, I'd like to spend a bit of my time coordinating the
conversations and seeing where we could go". There are many people on
the "interested observer and commenter" fence around this topic, but we
have yet to find someone who has the time, the will, and the technical
savvy to lead the project to success.
We could open a newsgroup for language conversations, but we all have to
be aware that it's just going to be a cocktail party conversation
without a leader...
Any ideas?

BEA's goals) were going to be satisfied by other projects.

Then the newsgroup vanished. ;-}
I guess to go any further someone will have to make a new proposal to
the board.

PS Cross-posting sucks. I removed eclipse.foundation from this reply.
