I agree with this. In addition to (or perhaps instead of ;-}) some of the standard boilerplate for the projects, there should be "help wanted" areas, and there should be a roll-up of that information available somewhere. I think that it'd help, and probably a good bit more than oss-bite-size. For what it's worth, I think part of this is "just" a cultural problem. All of the projects are essentially implicit "help wanted" invitations. You have to pay attention to the mailing lists, and ask and offer to help to find out more. (I can't speak for others, but I know that's true for me. I haven't specifically said "here's what I expect others to do" because I'm actually expecting others to see the projects and come calling ...) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
