Neil, Sorry for the delay in responding to this proposal -- I was on vacation for three weeks.
I have some questions about the details, mostly stemming from my lack of experience with Xen. However, I think it will be more appropriate to discuss those questions once this project is instantiated. For now, I think there's enough potential that we should definitely start a project in this area. So +1 from me. It looks like we now have four +1s and no -1s almost four weeks after the proposal went out. I don't think you set a timeout on the discussion, but it certainly seems like this is long enough :-) If no one objects, I think we can consider the proposal to be approved. Neil, you can notify the OGB at your convenience.
