The people involved in the new Nightingale can probably be found on irc.mozilla.org. From what I understand, POTI is also generally supportive of these efforts. Alfred, Steve, and I did the original Songbird port to OpenSolaris (also ironically called Project Nightingale), and while I don't have time to work on this now, I can provide resources (build systems and project hosting) for anyone interested. I'm CC'ing this over to desktop-discuss since that's the more specific list for this. -Albert _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
