Of the existing communities, I think that Networking and perhaps Approachability represent internal Sun management organization (and history) more than they do anything about guiding projects. (I feel a lot more strongly about "Networking" being overly vague than "Approachability.") > Perhaps someone needs to start by trying not to put all of the > OpenSolaris Networking > content on a single community web page.

I think it'd be good to have a public discussion about what sorts of high-level goals we want to achieve. "Improve networking performance" could be such a goal to rally a community around. "Add networking utilities" or "enhance routing" or "simplify network configuration" could be other networking-related communities. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
