So options are either build a community or join one. Building an OS > community around a distro is easier said than done and none of us has > the time or wherewithal to do this from scratch. Joining a growing > developer
This may be a promising move to collaborate(not merge) with a project with a growing developer base. would give a boost to both the projects. > and user community is the most easier option esp. when that community > also looks at things in ways similar to our approach and also brings > interesting new ideas to the table. So we have been considering working > closely with the OSUNIX community (http://www.osunix.org/index.jspa) but that is a very young community and is in a phase of charting out its own plans as to how their implementation of OpenSolaris would be and may have some design issues which are different from Belenix's this may lead to some problems later. So, IMHO we should also consider, Putting up a Starter (Not always a newbie) friendly website. Here are some points which we might implement for the above: 1.Update the Project Ideas(or restructure "Features Requests") page more often , updating it with all the ideas that we(users) come up with, during our everyday use of belenix, and breakup the ideas into steps to do, with the difficulty levels,(this being most important) IMO this would be faster implemented by having a submission form, the data from which goes into a moderation queue before being updated onto the website.(I could start implenting this immediately if it sounds promising). 2.Have belenix dev-zones set up (like OSUNIX has done) and provide small spaced (may be 100MB work areas) for Starters to get a feel of it and when they start contributing more. Increase the alloted space for the work area. > to pool together our efforts and get innovations and new developments > moving faster. That community is doing a lot of cool stuff and growing > in developers. So we are looking at working together and BeleniX being > a primary delivery vehicle for the results of that combined work. This > consideration has been floating for some time and frankly now we "We" means , is it a unanimous decision by the belenix core dev team ? are > quite excited by this prospect. > > So expect changes happening and new builds/releases coming out after > the 0.8 release train is out.
