Project teams need to be included in their own cases' discussions, though, and having the project team mailing list included in the Interest field of the IAM file is the typical way to make that happen. > > Thoughts? For the particular case you're bringing up, I'm not sure what kinds of thoughts you're soliciting. Clearly we need project teams to be included in their cases discussions, and posting to both psarc-ext _and_ the project mailing list is the only way to do that. What's the problem with this (other than that OpenSolaris mailing lists are completely broken, but that's another topic entirely)? -Seb
