If you're either a developer or user of the Caiman installer technologies, please read on.
Now that the opensolaris.org website has transitioned to the XWiki infrastructure, we're ready to implement the flag day/heads-up notification protocol that I outlined some weeks ago. This protocol allows interested parties, especially users, to receive push notification of important changes without requiring subscription to this high-volume mailing list (via the Watch feature of XWiki), and makes these important notices easier to locate and reference. There is now a page[1] on the opensolaris.org site to collect these notifications. As you'll see, I've taken the liberty of pre-populating it with an example, the most recent flag day from build 125. The protocol going forward for any heads-up or flag day notifications that affect either developers or end users of the installer is: 1. Create a new page on Caiman's opensolaris.org site with the details of the announcement 2. Add a link to the new page created in step 1 in the main Flag Days page. 3. Send an email to caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org with either a link to, or the text of, the announcement in step 1. The Developer information page[2] has been updated to reflect this as well. Questions or suggestions are welcome. Dave [1]http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+caiman/Flag+Days [2]http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+caiman/Developers
