I guess that makes the question I'm asking rather simple: how is the ARC supposed to review the architectural aspects of this project if the larger context into which it's designed to fit isn't something that is readily available to the ARC members? Your answers to the specific questions seem fine, and I have no reason to doubt that there's some larger project that this all fits into and that it satisfies all the requirements of that larger project. But one of the important functions of the ARC is exactly that: recording and reviewing precisely how distinct projects fit together. It doesn't seem like that function can be satisfied here. > I don't think there is one yet. As I mentioned in the proposal, I expect > the Install team to ARC a case for AI at some point. No longer an ARC member, but if I were, I think I'd ask to see that project first. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list [email protected]
