Can we center the conversation to what we should do and forget what we shouldn't? You are the expert in the field and you know what software is offered in OpenSolaris (in the mkcd package). What other tools would be good for users to have available? If we agree on a list of those (obviously using original code and not forks nor spoons). We will package that, in the other case the topic will come around in the next meeting and the "element of the project previously known as wodim/cdrkit" will be decided to be dropped. So I am just asking for help, what should we package and deliver? Luis
