Yeah, I'm not sure how the commercial bits and the other bits entirely fit either. I certainly think Sun's commercial interest needs to be largely separate from opensolaris.org, perhaps the user-ish bits in the opensolaris.com text are users of the *Sun commercial stuff*, and not users in general? Either way, I still read it to suggest the separation is in part to leave opensolaris.org alone, or, perhaps more accurately?, to not have to wedge their grand marketing plan (or whatever) into the opensolaris.org world. -- Rich _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
