is Sun willing to at least give access to a SVN repository so the KDE
Solaris port source code and the associated required libraries source
code (which, by the way, are three times the size of what used to be
the Companion CD) have a material presence at OpenSolaris, where
people can actually collaborate and do work ?

if that is not possible, then the current situation will not change,
and will not improve. KDE can be downloaded right now off the 'Net, in
its various shapes, forms and incarnations.

having a real, collaborative engineering effort at OpenSolaris does
not formally imply product support from Sun.
