Of course, it matters.... SchilliX was already fully Opensource before, so what is special in Belenix?
Moinak managed to convince 5 or 6 friends of his to help out. Belenix also seems to have reached or almost reached critical mass, as one of the top two leading non-sun OpenSolaris distros. (From a completeness point of view). I don't know why Schillix has not. I'd imagine it's a matter of how persuasive you are and how clearly your goals are defined. Personally I feel that having a goal of being an open source distro does not provide enough differentiation. Also, I probably would not contribute to Shillix, because it makes me very uncomfortable when a project is named after the project initiator. (e.g. - Linux) I know it doesn't have sound technical reasons, but like anything, decisions are often made based on personal preference. One other reason is Moniak has put alot of work into Belenix, and by your own admission, you've lowered your priority of updating Schillix. (Or at least haven't had the time to work on it in awhile.) -Brian P.S. - If Belenix does become a base for a community project, I personally would like to see the name changed to a more descriptive name. e.g. - OpenSolaris Community Edition. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
