OK, so it's not the same physical content that is on opensolaris.org at present, If I understand you correctly, .com will contain new content that covers much of the same material as .org, but from a user perspective. That's what was confusing me - it sounded like you meant the existing page content on .org would be moving. >> What happens to the nearly 100,000 registered users on the .org site? > > Exactly what happens to them currently? Nothing. We ideally used a > shared user database. That may or may not be possible, depending on the exact nature of the .com site. Data from user registrations on .org are governed by a privacy agreement that restricts the uses that we can make of the registration data. >> Who will be responsible for deciding what content goes on the .com site? > > That's entirely what this discussion is for, so that we can find out > what the interest level is like, and whether it's likely to fly as a > proposal.

That's not entirely what I was asking, I was asking about control of the site, not authorship of the content. -- Alan Burlison -- _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
