Just thought I'd give my 2 cents on the topic of project proposal acceptability...
Per governance policy (as stevel pointed out) a project space on opensolaris.org is really easy to get. (In the spirit of "innovation often happens elsewhere" is the way I like to think it came about.) Therefore we could potentially have projects that fall way outside the conventional opensolaris.org project profile. I think that's good. It means, for example, an idea can use a project space as an aid to help it incubate. It also allows us to shoot for having not just the #1 SunOS-UNIX community but the the #1 operating systems community. We often hear that the "no-limits" atmosphere in Solaris engineering is why some of the world's best operating systems engineers choose to work there. Similarly, if we promote unfettered project generation on opensolaris.org, although there's some potential downside, I think the upside potential is huge. So in my opinion, this project proposal, and getting more like it, is desirable. Eric _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
