I based the announcement on the precedence that has been set (project announcements that have been made by other projects). I request people to review some of the recent announcements listed below. New Tadpole Platform Support project open for business http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=28311&tstart=0 New Project: OpenSolaris Ports Collection http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=28308&tstart=0 OpenSolaris project: Network Storage http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=27133&tstart=0 New OpenSolaris Project: Java kstats http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=27132&tstart=0 New OpenSolaris Project: Mozilla DTrace http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=27030&tstart=0 > Nowhere in the announcement does it say what busybox actually *IS*. While there are no elaborate details about the existing busybox project, the opening statement about the project in the announcement is: "This project is about providing busybox( www.busybox.net) equivalent on OpenSolaris." Which indicates the existing busybox with link reference. In the absence of any guidelines/templates, I believe it would be fair to say the level of details provided is as much if not more compared to most other project announcements that have been made. If those were acceptable so should it be the case with this one. The project announcement automation and the 1-pager template that are mentioned should help any *future* disparities. best regards Shiv ps: My mail to the list initially got reject instead of going to the moderation queue since I was not a member of the list. The list itself was not listed at opensolaris.org->forums. I had to figure out the url based on other mailing lists so that I could subscribe and respond. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
