All - as discussed, we have enabled anonymous pull on the project, and we're definitely open to community contributions to the project.
I put some ideas on the project home page under "Development Opportunities" of things which would be useful, such as power management, drivers, library and kernel optimizations.

I'd love to hear some >perspective on this, and why you made the decisions you did. Agreed. Given Bryan's questions to OGB candidates last week it does make me wonder. Sherry: can we have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list as well, and leave the list(s) hosted at opensolaris.org as fully open? Re the hg repo, could we have named pull rather than a blanket "you must be blessed" restriction? cheers, James C.
