Please forgive me, if these has already been proposed or implemented...

screen, sudo, top, gls, gdf, dir, gawk, procmail, torque, curl.

I use all of these tools, with the exception of curl and dir, on a
daily basis, and am willing to maintain them.

If no one has any objections to the list, I will start preparing
individual draft proposals.


Lots of those tools have (or have had) internal versions floating
around for years :)


sudo you might get some pushback, as Sun already has rbac
(and has been shipping it since, I believe, S7 or S8)

instead of top we now have "prstat", which seems to serve
the same pupose (though it's been years since I used top,
so maybe it has some newer bells & whistles that make it
cooler)

These all appear to be in the companion CD already, so
packaging already exists:
SFWgawk
SFWprcml
SFWncur (screen)
etcetra

I'm not sure what the process would be to take stuff
from the Companion CD & move them into the SFW consolidation
(or what the particular advantage would be)
