I think everyone who has contributed and continuing contributing to the cause of OpenSolaris, be it QA, Deployment, volunteering promotion, etc.. should be considered as contributors for OpenSolaris. Obviously, we are the desktop community, we should more refined to the desktop side of the contributions. So when the person asks, we should take that into consideration. We should not restrict only to code based contribution projects.
We hear very little from other Desktop distro such as KDE, XFCE apart from the questions of how to build and integrate into openSolaris. Can we include their blogs feeds into planet.opensolaris.org so that we can know of what they are getting on? Glynn, Steve? -Ghee
