Hawkular is our ONLY project actually ;)

I think I phrased the question wrongly - IMHO, Kettle or Hawkular as a whole 
might not be of that much of an interest to the community NOW simply because 
of the fact that it is not much more than a codified hand-waving *at the 
moment*. UI is actually being done to last but the integration "layer" and 
pinger certainly aren't (again, this is the situation *at the moment* - we're 
working hard to change that).

If I was an external contributor wanting to contribute in the Hawkular I'd run 
away if I needed to update the pinger or the way the components are integrated 
at this moment. It is all a hack right now (again, we're working hard to 
change that - we're just not there yet).

But if I was an external contributor trying to make sure one of the Hawkular 
components did what I wanted, I can do that now - those things are now at a 
much more stable place already.

So that's what I meant by community being currently maybe more interested in 
the components than Hawkular itself. It's not that Hawkular is somehow less 
important, it's just that it requires large foundations that are not yet there 
to even start to resemble its true form.
