Hi all, Articles have the same technical needs as all the other documents we want to produce for opensolaris, so maybe it is better to say not that we have conflicting projects, but that we'll grapple with common hurdles: license, authoring tools, review cycles, style guidelines. If the articles project manages some of these hurdles more quickly, then we can leverage that speed here too. I certainly would endorse such a project and hope to learn something from it and add something to it.
