I've earlier expressed my opposition against the direct export of such
project names and now even machine names to the opensolaris website.
I believe it adds a barrier to entry for those willin gto participate
and not knowing where to look. It seems as if a lot of high technical,
interesting, content may be hidden under the muskoka cloak.

Sure. By the same argument "Open Solaris is not a lake in Canada" and
the name muskoka is equally in appropriate (or even more so).

So is the intention of this mailing list to be:
- all things technical, where no other project/community is appropriate.
- the same, but only pertaining to ON and not install, JDS, X, etc.
- or is there an intended overlap between this list and others and is
it just "everything technically interesting that is close to the
code".
Should it perhaps be on-tech-discuss, core-tech-discuss, ???
"tech" just seems to generic; somewhere I am picking up vibes that JDS and
install
may not be the intended audience.
