As I tried to say before... The result of project Indiana was the OpenSolaris distribution. The most likely entry point for someone wanting to discuss the fruits of project Indiana is opensolaris-discuss. Newcomers are not likely to spend the time trying to figure out what project Indiana is and are more likely to go to opensolaris-discuss. I suspect that at such a time as Solaris 11 Express is available, a new separate forum will start up (outside of opensolaris.org) that is the best place to discuss it. > There wer several interesting Alanc posts in July and i am not sure what > purpose will be of killing it. Based on Oracle's letter to employees[1], I'd be surprised if you see any more announcements from Oracle employees on indiana-discuss or opensolaris-discuss. They may continue to appear in strictly places aimed at developers such as xwin-discuss[2] or pkg-discuss[3]. Alan's announcements in July were also sent to xwin-discuss. 1. http://sstallion.blogspot.com/2010/08/opensolaris-is-dead.html 2. http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/xwin-discuss/ 3. http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/pkg-discuss/ > If it is not maintained, all right then.

If so and there aren't strong objections to you becoming a moderator from the community, you'll probably be able to take on that role. > Anyway, if you think there is some other reason to kill it beside spam > etc, say so, > I don't like to see it go away. Frankly, I don't really care if mail from unsubscribed people goes to /dev/null either. Several months ago, there were legitimate messages that I approved from time to time. By the time this thread is done (or maybe before if consensus isn't reached quickly) I'll no longer be a moderator or a subscriber. Since I had been helping out with this list, I figured I would offer to put it to bed if the community thought it was obsolete as well. It would have been easier for me to just remove myself as a moderator and pass the buck to the other two moderators that are @oracle.com. I think that such a proposal from any...@oracle.com would be taken with a great deal of suspicion. Just to be clear, the idea of this proposal was mine. I had no conversations with anyone @oracle.com that inspired me to initiate it. I did contact the other moderators ahead of time as a sanity check on my intentions. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
