Hi, I'm currently (and temporarily) online again, after a "business-deal"-travel related interruption. I found that parts of my original statement may sound ambiguous. I would like to correct this now.

Moinak Ghosh has made FOX self-hosting, has added many client-libs and -apps to the FOX Makefile framework. He has donated his changes to Xorg from BeleniX to Indiana and, as far as I know, is chief-developer responsible for FOX on Indiana-x64/x86. (Plus, of course, all his other essential contributions beyond xwin, such as clofi, hsfs-readahead, microroot etc etc etc!) In my view this should make him a core contributor on xwin and/or indiana. But isnt't indiana a project, rather than a community? Didn't we vote to give project leaders more grants last February? It looks like nothing has changed since then, anyways not into the right direction. When watching http://poll.opensolaris.org/ you will see, that Moinak has only a single core contributor title and two plain "contributor" titles. That shows that this system isn't properly set-up. > Martin Bochnig wrote: > > The funniest thing: I'm still only a plain > contributor in the xwin-community, so is Moinak > Ghosh!!! > > > Have you emailed the X Window System Community and > asked for core > contributor status?

We (Moinak and I) had been told it would "depend on our future behaviour, and then they would decide". Message must be in the xwin archives somewhere, back last July or August. Look: Moinak is just too humble. He would never write critical mails. That's why I do it now. It is a joke that he only has a single "core" thingy. I would rather like to give up my OGB-core title. If I deserve one, then for SPARC-Xorg, hence xwin-community (actually for FOX, but that's still not possible, as FOX is a project, rather than a community, err, what?). But Moinak deserves more than one. cheers martin (sent via jive to xwin-discuss and indiana-discuss, where no CC:-field is properly mainatained, nor any thread related data [!], BTW) p.s. I may not be online this week, as I'm abroad (trying to make some money). This message posted from opensolaris.org
