Hmmm. You're right - this might be tricky territory; particularly as Charle=
s mentioned concerning bundling of non-Apache-Licensed bundles. The common-=
ground project would need create/distribute bundles under a selection of li=
censes. Still, there's got to be a way!

Perhaps the best home for this might be as a sub-project of the Karaf or Fe=
lix project? This would keep the repository tied to a neutral ground. As I =
think about it, Karaf might be best, as the resulting bundles would work wi=
th Felix or Equinox or whatever OSGi distribution is being used.

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting a subproject of SMX or Geronimo.  I think
there are other projects like Ace, Sling, Aries that could contribute
to that too.  So definitely a common ground would be a good idea.
I'm not sure if the board would approve a project solely for releasing
third party libraries though ...
