To me this says that we have web site design problems ;) Something like a list of the five most recent project announcements? >>"Improve networking performance" could be such a goal to rally a >>community around.

Like I said before, >3-4 might be best. > > Just to throw my $0.02 in on this, I'd suggest thinking about: * kernel networking (protocols, frameworks, etc) * network project discussion * network administration (routing protocols, tools, configuration, etc) * networking APIs (sockets, RPC, etc) * general networking discussion/questions (for people who want to ask questions but don't know where to go) To pose the question in a different manner, where would I discuss: * changes to ifconfig * changes to TCP * changes to the sockets API * what did the IP instances project do * using DHCP/snoop inside of a zone * I can do X on Linux, how do I do something similar on OpenSolaris * performance projects with my T2000 network drivers * adding a new field to dblk_t * removing ire's from the kernel * code reviews for small projects not big enough to have their own lists * why doesn't telnet work * creating a new framework for IP<->device drivers * proposing/discissing new projects etc. On top of any discussion forums, I'd like to propose we have networking-announce (moderated) The goal of this is to: * announce new projects * announce new contributors * announce code reviews being opened * announce project documents for review * announce when projects are putback into opensolaris * support regularly posting an FAQ for opensolaris networking etc. ...where the expected behaviour would be to either: * email the project list and cc networking-announce or * email networking-announce only Actually, come to think of it, I can't see why we can't have a networking-announce created now :) Darren _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
