Cool - I think I got the wrong end of the stick and thought work was being done 
to the packages themselves, rather than the debian packaging bit. So that all 
sounds fine, sorry for jumping to conclusions!

I imagine we'll need to have a discussion about moving the mercurial repo for 
it up into the Illumos infrastructure, along with the documentation.

One of the things I like about hg.openindiana.org is that we've got hgweb set 
up, (and we've got nice ACLs set up to control who can commit to what, but 
maybe hg.illumos.org has that too). It'd be helpful if hgweb could be set up on 
the Illumos hg infrastructure, but not too essential since OI can mirror it.

I guess we'll need to have a chat about the review process/policies/etc, 
hopefully the ones we outlined here are a good starting point:

http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+with+oi-build
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Contribution+Process
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Commit+Process

We might also want a separate mailing list for it so the illumos developers 
list is kept on the topic of illumos-gate.

Also I guess a discussion needs to be had about naming - my suggestion would be 
illumos-userland. Boring, yet descriptive :-) 

Cheers,

Alasdair
