Compromises and small sacrifices need to be made and I have always felt that the greater good and the future of the project demands that people set aside ego and simply agree that we need to work together. This seems to have worked well for me for a while now. > > However, I'd quite like to see a common repository created under the > opensolaris.org website though if that was possible. > Well, I think that the opensolaris site is the source of all things OS related and not all other things. Perhaps I am thinking of the known and unknown paradigm from the book Godel-Escher-Bach in which we agree that some set is clearly known and thus all other things fall into the "unknown" set. All things that are within the Solaris OS and the realm of OpenSolaris can not by definition encompass GNOME and KDE and cdrecord. Thus it must be something else. Hence not the opensolaris.org site. Strictly my loose thoughts on the matter. Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
