I've modified the Community section of the proposal adding the section between *** this: OSGi is a mature Java modularity technology that is well-used in many environments but, in the enterprise space, has more typically been exploited by the internals of the runtime infrastructure than the applications that run on it. This is primarily because of a lack of a clear enterprise OSGi application programming model and implementation of OSGi-enabled Java technology to support enterprise applications. There is a need for open source implementations of these technologies and there is currently no Apache project focused on the wider goal of delivering components for an enterprise OSGi application programming model. *** We recognise that projects comprising multiple components face challenges maintaining cohesion as a community but believe the common focus on the enterprise OSGi programming model is a strong theme that will guide the activities of the community as a whole. *** Aries aims to build a community of developers interested in the definition and delivery of software components that support an enterprise OSGi programming model and which can be integrated into a number of different runtime environments. By maintaining independence of both the target runtime and underlying OSGi framework it is our intention to build the broadest possible community of developers. I hope this shows that this is on our radar.
