I've pulled together my preliminary thoughts on the relative priorities of open sourcing the other Solaris consolidations, and would like you all to comment on the list and priorities below.
These priorities are not temporally influenced: we did not list consolidations as a "HIGH" priority just because they will be available next and items that are "HIGH" may not be available for quite some time. The priority should be a reflection of how important the code/functionality is to the community, and I'm sure I didn't get it all right. The goal of this is to give everyone a sense of what the priorities for the program should be. Feedback by next week (9/13) would be appreciated. We'll be rolling this into a status dashboard that will be posted externally in the coming weeks, so there will be opportunities to adjust the priorities moving forward. Stay tuned for more information.
