I would like to propose a new community called "Gardeners" based on
some recent discussions on opensolaris-code. [1,2]
The mission of the community is simple: raise the overall code quality of
the system.
The intention of the community is to provide a nexus for a group of people
who are already active in the community and to attract new talent who
share our values. The technical scope of the community is roughly:
- Automated code checking (lint, cstyle, check_rpath, etc.)
- Care and feeding of the build process
- Retiring obsolete subsystems
- Other types of code cleanup
While this community has some similarity to the Linux "kernel janitors"
[3] project, our focus will be more on structural changes than on code
examination ("we're not here to sweep up after your broken project"). The
community expects that it will necessarily have some overlap with the
OS/Net community and with the Tools community.
