Community members can propose new Community Groups by writing to the ogb-discuss list <http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ogb-discuss> outlining items such as goals, technical scope, potential participants, leaders, and activities. Proposals need to list at least 3 current Core Contributors who are nominating the community, at least 3 participants who will become the initial Core Contributors of the new community, and one person who will serve as the community's Facilitator. Further details on Community creation and governance can be found in Article VII of the OpenSolaris Constitution<http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ogb/governance/> . This implies that people are familiar with a bunch of OpenSolaris.orgspecific terms. > - start a project > > Should be handled after the new project creation proposal is in place.

From the folks maintaining and open sourcing the software that this site is based on . (I think it's called Jive?) Also, genunix is not necessarily widely known, that may lead to the issue you are referring to. I'd like to see lot's of links to the wiki within opensolaris.org. Since genunix is a) a seperate domain, and b) not supported by opensolaris.org I think there might be a hesitancy to do so. -- > -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com > Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering > brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
