I believe you're actually mistaken about that. The "automated voting" machine you're looking at relies on the live membership database. It seems a little weird, but the best way to tell who the "core contributors" (voters) are in a community is to go to that poll.opensolaris.org site and search. It'd be cooler if there were some automatic "click here to see contributors and core contributors" link on each community web page. It'd be cooler still if the group facilitator or core contributors could update that list themselves. I think there are missing tool features here, but no missing data. > Actually, section 7.8 of the Constitution has the "rules" for core > contributor status (as I asked about).

I don't agree. Plus, I think having each group separately inventing its own way to denote the various kinds of members would lead to chaos. It's centralized now, and we should build on that instead. -- 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
