I would like to contribute it under the Apache license, I'm not sure if it would be better to host on a Sun CVS or Apache/Jakarta CVS server.

Uuuh, that sounds awesome!! Ok, proposal: - Edwards donates the code to us (this means APL on top, org.apache.tools.ant package names) - we place this into the jakarta-ant CVS (where you like it most) - give Edwards commit access - modify the ant build.xml to create two distributions: ant-plain and ant-for-forte What do you think? -- Stefano Mazzocchi One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
