I'd thought of a simple FTP area (like where Schillix and Belenix are mirrored). I've been reviewing and working on the vanilla GNOME 2.12.2 for Blastwave and would hate to duplicate work being done by the JDS team (i.e. I need to spend more time on KDE 3.5.x anyhow!). GNOME for Solaris needs to evolve between the community developers and Sun engineers to we have a more unified system to deliver the binaries to everyone on all of the current distributions (Solaris-Solaris Express). Although it is fun to learn and build GNOME/JDS from source tarballs, it is a thought to provide the latest GNOME/JDS binaries to everyone to get more TESTING and bug reporting done to improve the JDS/GNOME experience on Solaris. ;oP Something to think about?
