This looks good to me, the docs are comprehensive and clear. Your and
Howard's work on common build and test would be a good driver towards
synchronising releases, producing images etc...

I would say definitely go ahead and canvass interest on the incubator
list. Recall that a/ the java people like to do everything in their
own, warped, similar yet different manner, and they have something
called 'cruise control' also 'continuum' which work with something
svn-like called 'maven'. 

"Let them sit in their java hole" you may be tempted to think, but it
would be good in the future to accomodate this. Also b/ the web
mapping clients and any other UI clients are harder to automatedly
test, I wonder if we can provide extra/common UI test automation.

Moon on a stick, eh?

cheers,
