I believe that David Comay has a master list of open source software that people are working on integrating, and you should check with him. > I believe it is inevitable for the community to have a seperate > repository, aside from one that Sun would host.

We used to have such a thing in the Companion CD, but that's apparently fall out of favor with the rise of Indiana. > More what I would like to see is just a seperated repository from Sun, one > without any process at all, the rules and/or how a package is accepted can > be determined. I think it's likely a very complicated topic, given the legal and contractual issues. I have no idea how such a thing would work, but perhaps you could get the current OGB interested in it. > Can you offer some insight? Am I way off base here?
