I've noticed that the amount of list traffic for the project, and to some extent the work going on within the project, are directly proportional to the amount of time I or someone like me spends working on the project. Somewhat disconcerting since I'd like to be able to leave the project for a week or two or even a couple of months without it stagnating.

Released GNU Classpath 0.05 a week ago. I have updated the peer interface classes to what appears to be the 1.4 API although I need to give more thought to this since there are parties desiring to unify their peer interfaces with ours to make things more seemless.

The alpha pre-releases of GNU Classpath have been little more than tar files of a snapshot in time in the past. My goal is to eventually change that. Hard to imagine a project that has only had alpha pre-releases for five years but that is where we're at.

This has more to do with tracking an external proprietary product as it evolves and less to do with the enormous amount of work that has already gone into the project. The goal for 2003 is to get the AWT working and usable.
