Hi All, Should the (aimed for) increase be linear? Opensolaris' popularity and usage, if all goes well, is set to increase tenfold in the coming year. Opensolaris seems to be (slowly) coming out of the firewall. Opportunities for community participation, from students as well as other independent developers, are increasing. Why not aim for 25? Thats the number of slots FreeBSD got this year. And my statistics may be off, but I'm thinking Opensolaris has a potentially bigger community.
