Jorg, you are in SWAN now. You can put together a workspace, integrate
star into it, send out the code reviews and ultimately submit the RTI.
Until you have an RTI that is refused, or an ARC case that is rejected,
I don't think it is fair to assume *anyone* is rejecting anything if
you've done.
But its also not fair to expect them to do this work for you. If
someone else at Sun wants star badly then *they* could do the work.
So, if your ARC cases have been approved, put together a workspace, and
send out code reviews as the first step. Its really not that hard.
I'd offer to help you with it myself, except I know nothing about the
SFW consolidation, and have little interest learning it just to help you
out. If however you want to integrate into ON, I can offer you some
basic suggestions... but I'm still not going to do the work for you
myself! I don't think anyone else will, either.
As my dad always said, "Actions speak louder than words." Demonstrate
your commitment to getting star integrated by your deed rather than your
e-mails.
