My company is interested in donating a project to the Apache Foundation. Specifically, we have created an updated HTML editor kit for Java 1.4 that supports the latest W3C standards for both HTML and CSS. The JDK currently only supports HTML 3 and CSS 1. Additionally, we have created a test harness for the editor kit that implements functionality very similar to Macromedia Contribute. If nothing else, I believe the editor kit as a component by itself will be useful for the Java community at large. However, I also believe that the test harness would prove to be a good starting point for CMS client.
Let me know about the interest level associated with this proposed donation.
I am personally very interested in this, having worked on a similar project. In any case, it's a very interesting thing for Java in general to have such a component opensourced. Because of this, I will see to do all I can to help you.
As for accepting it at Apache, we decide not on technical merits as much as we look for a community that will keep driving the development effort on it.
In particular, this document may be of help: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/newproject.html
If you believe that the proposal is not in line with this as it doesn't have a community that can cater for it, feel free to contact me directly to see if we can find the right way to opensource it.
