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.
I'm all for what makes life easy.
Going back to the [u]fs community issue though, I haven't understood how
to create an fs-community and re-host ufs as a project under it (along
with a few others, cifs, pcfs come to mind but there surely are more).
Now how can Jan get his project ? Might it make sense to request it being
hosted under the debugging community, since it's supposed to be an mdb
module ? That would avoid the problem that ufs as osol community is
considered defunct, wouldn't it ?

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).
