As I understand it, 4.0.1 will not be available in source form. (One of our folks who was at the Sun users' group meeting was told that Sun got their version control messed up, and can't come up with the source.) This presents obvious problems to source sites who have modified modules that are also changed in 4.0.1. It is certainly possible for us to re-develop the patches included in 4.0.1, but doing so is going to take some work. I'd appreciate hearing via private mail from other source licensees who are interested in working on this cooperatively. I've already made some progress, which I'd be willing to share. I've felt for some time that we need an informal consortium of source sites. Maybe this will be a catylst for forming it. (I might even be willing to give the 4.0.1 source back to Sun, for a slight fee.)
