Hello and welcome to java.net!
I am the java.net Site Manager. If you have ever left a message for the feedback alias or one of the discussion forums in the java-net project, chances are we've chatted before. I hope you've been enjoying java.net. There's lots of stuff here - lots of good information, and really wonderful projects that you can get involved with! I love being part of the java.net community. It is a fun, vibrant place to be, with lots of really interesting people hanging around.
We may have also met if you are part of the Jini or JXTA communities. I am the Sun Grid Community Manager so you may occasionally run into me there too!
If you are really into developing online communities, check out my list of community development references. Feel free to add your own favorites to the list.
Favorite projects:
Examples at developer.network.com - In the new Sun Grid Community, Fay Salwen has developed a very cool project to get developers started with a simple credit card application. It also is very well-designed from a project standpoint, so if you are looking for ideas on what you can do with your project space, take a look at this project.
java-net - Come on in and check out the java.net start-up tools. Start your own thread in the discussion forums, if you have ideas or questions you'd like to kick around. We're there to chat with you!
KIDS is really cool ! It is an excellent cause, and an excellent project design.
