I have a crazy idea. Why don't we solve this once and for all. Let's make a new community: misc. This community is where these oddball cases can be mooted and sponsored. This is also where people can discuss new CG creation.
I volunteer to help admin this new community, and be a voting body/sustaining force. This is worth pushing through the process chain, as it will make life so much easier for others. brian On 6/1/07, Frank Hofmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Just my 0.02p on that one. I'm upset and worried that OpenSolaris project creation has gone downhill and become process-encumbered. That means especially that one needs to ask god and the world for approval of project creation. Keith, I suggest you try looking at sourceforge.net and create a project there. * Do you need to ask anyone (one or more people) whether you can ? * Do you even need an email ? * Is it a manual procedure to find out which projects you are affiliated with, and which you are contributing to ? * How difficult is it to get mailing lists, bug tracking services, or webspace for your project ? And _then_ tell me again how it works on opensolaris.org is just fine and should be done the way it is (now).
