Also, I get the feeling that the opening of the ARC process in general will eventually be pretty far-reaching... maybe extremely far-reaching?... Question for all: From my (quite limited) perspective of large-scale software engineering projects (like an operating system), opening the Sun ARC process seems enormously unprecendented -- and eventually correpondingly impactful -- in the realm of open source software development. Agree? Disagree? (For an overview of ARC, and of opening it, see the FAQ etc. here: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc for overivew) Eric
