I don't want to put a formal voting procedure. If we agree to change project name to linux-wsn, linux-wpan, or any other, I'd try to rename the sf project. > > How do you, the maintainers and contributors, feel we should remedy this > situation? > > My feeling is that the websites should definitely be merged, and the > current linux-zigbee kernel be marked as legacy (for reference, and as a > temporary repository of features and drivers which have not been merged > upstream yet).

As I said, Alexander has admin rights for the sf.net site. If there is a need for anybody to have additional access, those requests can be satisfied w/o any problem. -- With best wishes Dmitry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
