On either side.
The process can be quite civil and orderly. With PSARC/2007/688[1] I found the process to be good in helping me to cover the bases and to document what is being done better. I think my experience with man(1) improvements was less painful because there wasn't any real controversy. The Conary project started with controversy (search the archives) and I think that any unfriendliness is likely a follow-on from this. Conary's progress within OpenSolaris will be an interesting test of how things are handled when a (non-Sun) community project doesn't fall in line with a Sun-driven (community) project to address highly overlapping subject matter. 1. http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2007/688/ -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
