Should all cases have some level of review before getting to ARC? That weeds out some obvious shortcomings, even if the review doesn't include someone with ARC experience. I know that a number of webstack cases were open to review by the community, which helped flush out some of the details. Waiting for the ARC case to ask basic questions isn't optimal; having the ARC case be the first you've heard of the existence of a project is worse. Which opens up the question: how can the OpenSolaris community be effectively engaged to improve the review process? There is significant expertise there, although many of us cannot commit to schedules. Still, having (for example) a case having had a pre-review by an OpenSolaris community group would ensure that it was at least basically sound, leaving the main ARC review to concentrate on how it fitted in the wider context. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
