Sounds good. I'd like to link to the blog entries for the general
announcement (Jean-Francois)
and the IIOP implementation details (Harsha). I'll write a blog entry
about where this fits in
the CORBA roadmap (CORBA in GFv3, port unification (with a nod towards
resource management),
CORBA in JDK7).
Harsha, it would make sense for you to discuss (in your blog) about the
compatibility issue
you found, and emphasize our commitment to backward compatibility.
Please let me know what the URLs will be as soon as you can.
Thanks,
Ken.
