1 1) Most important in the near term -- encourage Sun to make a few key changes in Java to allow it to be a complete efficient Grande Programming Language
  • floating point, arrays, complex etc.
2 2) As a community, recognize that sometimes standards are more appropriate than creativity and pool results of experiments to produce a Java Grande framework covering libraries and computer access

3 1) requires us to work with the computing mainstream -- 2) is internal to community
