Hi Fellow Java programmers,

http://osspinions.org is a place for developers like you to share your
opinions about open source projects. You may rate projects, write
reviews about them, and recommend them to others. Take a look, browse
around, and subscribe to the RSS feed.

Thank you for letting us know about this new forum,
but note that comp.lang.java.announce would have
been the most appropriate forum on which to
announce it.

When I first saw your post, I checked it for the hallmark
signs of s-p-a-m, and fortunately it did not fit my definition.
Please keep it that way, by restricting your discussion
about the new forum to this one single Java group.

Not enough time to get involved, but good luck
with it. I might be reading the comments of
others, when looking for OSS solutions in the
future.

BTW - 'Osspinions'? I thought it must be 'OssOpinions'
and mistyped that in the browser. I think 'Osspinions'
is just silly (but then, I reckon most of Sun's nomenclature
and acronyms are equally silly - so no 'Robinson Crusoe'
there).

Glad I was not classified as spam.

Ha, umm, I guess it was a play on Epinions.com.

Interesting concept, but the site interface needs some work. Is it
possible to write an review of OSSpinions itself on OSSpinions?

Although OSSpinions.org is not technically an open source project, I
would love to get feedbacks on it. So go right ahead. You can add
projects, just need an OpenID first. Alternately, there's also a
feedback button on the site.

Or you could just write your feedback here, whatever you want, I won't
be hurt =)
