For a 100% free and open project, this seems pretty closed and secretive to me. Since there's also about 2300 packages available in the repository, and more to come, it seems to me that you don't actually need or want much help either, because basically everything is already done. All you need to do is recompile about 20000 software packages from the regular debian repository for your distribution and that's about it (to put it a bit black and white).
Sure, I'm glad that an initiative like this exists, but I'm kinda bummed out that this is anything but a community effort. Am I right that this project has existed for a while, and there was a mailinglist or it on kernelunix.org? If so then it's definitly something I would have expected to be informed over lots earlier since I've been aware of it since July, was added to the "developer team", etc. Well, this mailinglist has been dead silent since then, and I never heard a peep after that. So imagine my surprise when this project pops up a few months later, with the same working name and apparently an entire team behind it which actually managed to put some deliverables out (which until I see an actual product I still consider vapourware). So, please, how does all this secrecy, mystery and constraints match with "100% open". Really, I'm curious. BTW, when will there be a SPARC version?
