All - as discussed, we have enabled anonymous pull on the project, and
we're definitely open to community contributions to the project.
I put some ideas on the project home page under "Development
Opportunities" of things which would be useful, such as power
management, drivers, library and kernel optimizations.

Agreed. Given Bryan's questions to OGB candidates last week
it does make me wonder.
Sherry: can we have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing
list as well, and leave the list(s) hosted at opensolaris.org
as fully open?
Re the hg repo, could we have named pull rather than a blanket
"you must be blessed" restriction?
