I've been wondering about a "commands" community group as well, for the various classic (and new) programs that use files, pipes, and terminals for their usual operations, but I get worried about the vast and imprecise scope, the obvious omission of library programming, and the overlap with tools, ON, and other community groups. Personally, I'd like to wait until the new Board reviews the existing community groups for activity, so we know the gaps, but otherwise, I agree that we need to recognize this kind of effort in the operating system. - Stephen -- Stephen Hahn, PhD Solaris Kernel Development, Sun Microsystems [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
