Following up, here is an (rough) draft proposal of a few developer
related bundles that we can put together to allow application developers
to get up and running quickly. This is geared towards providing complete
application development environment for Java, C/C++/Fortran, HPC, PHP,
and Ruby developers. There are many other ways to bundle (e.g. CVS vs.
Subversion vs. Mercurial vs. ....) and slice up current products (e.g I
just want to have the Sun Studio C/C++ compilers), which would be nice
as well, but this proposal is focused on what can be done in the near-term.

I'm looking for feedback on the components, use-cases, and bundle ideas,
so we can iterate. Thanks!
