Hmm - I need to go search for where this was written down and I don't have cycles right now to do so - so, from memory, ABAICR: The proposal is that "the OpenSolaris ARC Community" is defined to be the set of all OpenSolaris Community Core Contributers. The OpenSolaris ARC Community does two things: It provides for the hosting of the discussion forums and archives, and it is a place for people interested in the development, design and implementation of the ARC process to gather. > For bootstrapping purposes, Sun's Platform Software ARC (PSARC) can fill > this meta-community role, though we need to figure out how the community > can participate equally and effectively both as members and as > observers. > > which implies that all the OpenSolaris cases should go to PSARC and that > LSARC > should refuse any more JDS, X, Printing or System Management tools cases > that > affect OpenSolaris. This /was/ written over a year ago; at that time it was more or less true. Today, LSARC and WSARC are playing a larger role, and these words are sounding more and more out of date... > As others pointed out to my suggesting a new > OpenSolaris > ARC, is that too much load for one ARC to handle? If it was simply the dozen existing LSARC and PSARC members, probably. If it were the larger set of core contributers, not at all (but the problem then becomes one of growing these core contributers into ARC members... :-) -John
