Projects/communities like docs, sfw, sfe, pkg and others are very easy to contribute to and have a very low barrier to entry. Last year, I found the pkg project, and I can tell you right now that it felt like and still feels very much like an open source project. Patches go to the mailing list, discussions happen there, and all the bug tracking is done on defect.opensolaris.org. There are many great community groups and projects to contribute to with relative ease for those that are truly interested... As far as I'm aware, the only project that is onerous to contribute to is ON. As you might have noticed, ON finally transitioned to Mercurial, and direct, external commits are coming soon (if not already here for a limited number of individuals?). Sure, there's still quite a few things that need to happen, but I'd say "we're on the road to victory." -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
