I planning on mid May. It looks like the gnome bug I hit
may be fixed.

I don't see why we have to wait for it to be integrated into
opensolaris. External people can get it now. And it only
takes a couple minutes to install.

I added a meld link to the More Details section of our
project page at:
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/scm-migration/

We could add clear instructions on how to
install meld and point to the current version:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/meld/1.1/meld-1.1.5.1.tar.bz2

With the OpenSolaris liveCD, they would have to install it from the
repo anyway.

Yep.

Cheers,
