PSARC is the name of one of Sun's internal ARCs - it focuses on Platform Software. Others include LSARC - layered software and middleware and web services, and FWARC (for firmware related stuff). Together they are "the ARC"; individually they are simply the way we distribute and scale the review process; the number and scope of XXARCs change regularly over time as needs change. There is a nascent ARC CG project that will be addressing the question of "what is the relationship of the ARC community to the rest of the OpenSolaris effort?"; keep an eye out for it soon after the election is over - and please, feel free to join us. >> I did however find a typo on http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/ >> This link: >> http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/faq/arc-review-overview >> should say: >> http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/arc-faq/arc-review-overview Thanks, fixed. >> The docs for ARC are kind of messy and repetitive.
