In just about every open source community I've been involved in, most have code written before they bother proposing it or importing it. A small project team has performed a focused investigation on what they think are the current problems and the potential solutions, and gone off and done the hard yards to get to something tangible. The cost for creating a new project on opensolaris.org is extremely low, and all this discussion is doing is providing massive stop energy to the project team. Glynn
