Whoa Pekka, be nice.  Let's just assume that Guillermo is sincere, and
he wants to help.

The problem isn't competence.  All of us are competent.  It's a lack of
time.  All of us, I believe, have day jobs, and none of them are in GNU
Classpath development.

Guillermo, please.  You phrased your point badly, in a way that was likely
to annoy people.  I believe that you didn't want to do that.

Everyone: let's have a proper discussion.  Is there something we can
do with GNU Classpath that takes it further forward.  And, if so,
what?  What would our goals be?

Andrew.
