Ben, I agree that there are some things which only the vendors can
really take on but there's a lot left that the community needs to help
out with including evangelising, contributing thoughts, working on the
specification definitions, use cases, code contributions etc. I'm not
looking for an individual to step up and lead a specification or write
a reference implementation (though great news if they want to/can!)
I'm looking for the best in open source practices here and for us all
to show that this effort is worthwhile because we have such a large
and vibrant community of participants and contributors. And a
contributor here is anyone who provides input, whether large or small,
to any of the work we need to do under the EE4J banner.

Mark.
