Nils,
Sorry to appear dense here, but I'm still not entirely sure (in fact, very
unsure) what kind of information you envisage putting in this java
directory? Ar we talking about Sun JavaStations (a hardware platform -
sparc based, isn't it?) or a Java OS (Debian GNU/Java - intriguing...) or
simply the standardisation and packing of java tools for debian?
If the last, then although this is a worthy topic for a web page, it
probably doesn't belong in this hierarchy [Side note - it might be
interesting to have a 'projects' page listing various projects going on in
Debian, of which this would be one]
