History alert: this suggestion appears to be functionally identical to the "incubator" CG that was proposed during the last OGB tenure. We decided against it on the theory that if someone couldn't manage to scrape together a CG endorsement, then he really didn't need to do his work on opensolaris.org anyway. But it's a new day and a new OGB, so perhaps this can be revisited usefully. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
