Why is this opensolaris-arc ? The opensolaris- is redundant given the @opensolaris.org mail domain IMO. This email structure implies that we no longer wish to distinguish the sub groups of ARC, ie PSARC, LSARC, WSARC, FWARC. Now for OpenSolaris I'd say that most of the time only projects that are reviewed in PSARC and LSARC are really interesting. After all anything reviewed in FWARC should be about hardware or firmware and that is either opensparc or some place else but not OpenSolaris. Similarly even though somethings that WSARC may already be open source (such as Application Server) they aren't really OpenSolaris issues so I don't expect much traffic from WSARC out to OpenSolaris. So with that I mind I think a better name space would be: psarc at opensolaris.org psarc-.... at opensolaris.org - if the other thread agrees the sub aliases are actually valuable - I have no strong preference either way on the member/intern/licensee split but the agenda/chair split I think is valuable. Particularly looking forward to the day when the chair of PSARC is not a Sun employee! and we also have: lsarc at opensolaris.org With maybe a need for the equivalent of the current all-arcs and sac-review aliases at some point in the future. For the context of non Sun people on this thread, I have been a WSARC intern, member and one time co-chair. I chaired the now defunct SNARC and "stick my nose into" many PSARC cases as sponsor or contributer. -- Darren J Moffat
