Seeing veteran ogb members struggle with how to handle and/or determine opensolaris community priories tells me this may be a hard problem and may need more time and thought. I do agree that a poll may not get us what we want (and is a lot of work for Stephen or someone, not to mention the community). Having members of the community present for 15 minutes at each OGB meeting has some appeal to me in terms of helping us get to know extroverted parts of the community and their issues, but it doesn't sound very efficient and may exclude less squeaky wheels. Vision is good as long as it isn't too ego centric. A simple issue/solution box wiki we could cherry pick from for each meeting and discuss is what came to mind for me. But, I may need more time for this to jell. Cheers, Jim
