To be honest, this sort of a discussion should really be taking place on the bosslinux-devel or user list.... if there even is such a thing, and if there is - how does one get onto that list.. If they dont have the infrastructure to host such basic things, I might look at providing that - but it seems a bit odd that Cdac, IOSN, NRCfoss and whoever else might be involved here is unable to raise the resources required in order to make this happen. - KB [1]: Where should I be looking to find the people _really_ doing the development and any managerial roles involved ?
