Glynn: procedurally, this should really go to install-discuss, though I realize that the designated core contributors (this set of people) are the ones who need to reach consensus. Accordingly, I've cc'ed this reply back to install-discuss.

And I can say that my discussion last week with Ian showed very strong alignment with the goals of other projects we have already established in this community; I would expect Indiana to be a distributor of those projects' work. So let's sponsor the project and let it get off the ground (and off opensolaris-discuss ;-). The details can be fleshed out there, or in whatever meetings anyone wishes to set up with Glynn.
