I'm actually not sure I agree, and maybe my opinion touches on what Peter has already expressed that the Community Group structure has failed. I'd actually like to see *less* of a bond between Projects and Community Groups. There should be an extremely low barrier to entry for project creation - rather than having to even propose a project, any contributor should be able to JFDI. The project will succeed depending on the number of people that gather around it and their determination to complete it. We need to encourage the 'go knock yourselves out' mentality. The fact that someone is interested in starting a project is a great thing and we need to encourage that. The knowledge and experience they gain during the lifecycle of that project will be invaluable to the OpenSolaris commons in general, even if it proves to be a failure. Glynn
