The problem is that the nav bar is generated by the OS.o web
application, based on the (flawed) idea that it is reasonable to
traverse and show 4 or 5 levels of detail on every page.
AFAIK, it can not be bypassed or disabled; it certainly is not
part of the web content I generate or can influence.
Do a "view source" of any arc community page. Note that the
top 90% of the html is devoted to a huge list of div's, each
one showing yet another child page link.

My current thoughts are
arc-discuss is for discussing the ARC community and
its processes
opensolaris-arc is for the discussion of arc cases, and
is the equivalent of the sun-internal "PSARC" community.
We don't really need to mimic Sun's ARC implimentation
of multiple ARC committees at this time; we can devise
some way to subset ourselves if needed in the future,
once we have gotten something simple started up and running.

Yes - the problem is that today, fasttracks are
started by logging onto an internal sun system and
running a special script - not an option for OS.o
users...
John's assumption: Fasttracks are simple onepagers
that have the "I'm a fasttrack, here's my sponser" item
filled out, thus one mechanism can be used for all types
of case submission.

Steve H and I are having this discussion as well... No good answer yet.

I'll try and get more workflow info out later today...
