Glynn and some others have been talking about SIGs as one of the collective types we should have. In the current proposal, I have Communities replacing Community Groups. So, now we have Communities vs SIGs hanging out there. From a practical perspective, I see the two groups as absolutely identical under the new structure, so we don't need both of them. Let's pick one right now.
We may be able to clarify things by choosing SIGs over Communities. The term Community Groups has always been confusing since we also refer to the entire OpenSolaris community as a community. So, if we replace Communities with SIGs, it becomes easier to explain the OpenSolaris community as consisting of a few groups -- Projects, SIGs, User Groups and an Electorate. Now the term /community/ refers to one thing -- the /entire/ community. Easier? I'm sure Glynn already made this point, but can we decide this one issue in this thread before the vote on Monday? Shouldn't take more than one day to decide this, I would imagine. Jim -- http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris
