Having you on board is very good news. Browsing through the mailing list 
logs of bekaffe, I got the impression that there is ocassionally some 
interest to keep it alive, or to revive it. Hopefully a merged 
kaffe/BeKaffe tree will provide incentive for other Be Java developers 
to continue working on a free software java solution for that platform. 
I've downloaded the BeOS5 personal edition, so I should be able to start 
the merge soon.

I guess you should talk to Bernd about it.

I'll be using the original BeOS5 stuff myself, since I'd expect BeKaffe 
to work on it. I don't know how much Zeta differs from BeOS5, so I 
assume that it would be easier to start with merging kaffe and BeKaffe 
on BeOS5 and then, once the merge is complete, rebuild on/port to Zeta.
