Not that you get code integration in Linux world instantaneously especially when you're a new and not well known member. Even people from IBM have problems with integration into Linux kernel - see kprobes. I don't think we can afford to quickly integrate everything just to encourage. However more open attitude within projects already open would be welcome. We, outside Sun, in 99% do not have an idea if someone is working on some new functionality or not. We do not have an idea, much less participate, in discussions about direction of a project, etc. There're exceptions, sure. I also understand that even if many things take action in open public there's still not much community involvement - buy I belive it will come with time. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
