Shawn's proposal is already approved, and it involves the creation of a Community focusing on building OpenSolaris-based binary distributions. Community Groups which promise to deliver <something> are, by definition, not agnostic. The promise of delivery is, explicitly, a gnostic, and biased exercise: the Comunity Group in question asserts, at Inception Proposal, the expectation of domain expertise, and promises to deliver <something> which will reflect the domain expertise asserted at the inception proposal. Ultimately, the success (or failure) of any Community is measured by what the Community delivered vs. what the Community promised to deliver. In this particular case, it is too early to make that assessment. It is unclear to me what is the point of your post. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman KDE e.V. stefan.teleman at gmail.com
