I doubt the majority of people would object to have more code offered to them for free after Sun has paid a significant amount of money/time/resources developing it. It's like christmas all over again!
As for developing in house, It's just the logistics of getting it done with quality and quickly, at least for the initial stages of the project, then it goes open source and everyone can contribute to it. Most open source projects are developed by an individual or a small team in the formative stages until something is up and running. However, if there's a senior software developer in the open source community that's familiar with this area of code who's willing to volunteer 40+ hours a week to add to our team, maintain our quality, and speed us up instead of slowing us down, please submit a resume and I can forward it to management for them to assess the impact of another team member. :) Mark > Developing things "In house" and the releasing them when complete > is > something I suspect most (all?) of us have been hoping wouldn't > happen. > If this *is* the intent, could I ask why that's the case? > > -- Rich. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
