I decided not to register.....if the people from the project like my
help, they could send me a mail and ask me about their problems. If they
don't need help, they could just wait until they believe that the project
is ready for being published. Telling other other people that they need
to do things in order to even get better information is the wrong attitude.
If they like to help other OpenSolaris distribution projects, they could
send mail too.
The closed start up of OpenSolaris a year ago was definitely differen
from the startup of a project that only depends on open mudules.
My conclusion: I am afraid that this "way of life" could segments the efforts
for OpenSolaris distributions into incompatible sections where people
do not collaborate.
I am still in hope that it could be possible to avoid this kind of segmentation.
