Oracle's Ted Farrell just posted a very important update to The Future of Kenai.com. The key statements:
Our plan is to shut down kenai.com and focus our efforts on java.net as the hosted development community. We are in the process of migrating java.net to the kenai technology. This means that any project currently hosted on kenai.com will be able to continue as you are on java.net. We are sti
