Considering this is OpenSolaris, I'd like to see it here. I don't want to have discussions strewn about all over the world, and I really don't want to have to hunt down whichever group of people is working on whichever chunk of OSOL. No thanks, let's keep it all in one spot. > If all it ends up doing is recommending some existing solution, I'd be > thrilled. I would *not*. Neither works for me. This is why we *need* a place to discuss these issues, and quite frankly, I don't want to have to sign up at Blastwave to discuss OSOL related issues. I'll sign up there if I want to discuss Blastwave related issues. What has been discussed before on this list, and what will likely continue to be discussed *is* an OSOL issue. It is entirely seperated from Blastwave/sunfreeware/etc. Those are potential solutions to the fundamental problem. The fundamental problem is what needs addressing, and if bits and pieces of those existing solutions can be used, cool.. but I want to discuss it. Neither of those solutions I mentioned work for me in their current state. Hence, I had to build everything myself. We need to have a place to discuss these topics with everybody involved. Favoring blastwave/sunfreeware/whomever and using their project as a "forum" for this discussion isn't going to work for me. That would be doing the same thing that Sun is constantly being accused of doing right now on this very list! Can we stop bickering now and create a discussion forum? At least those involved could bicker-it-out there, and then I can subscribe once the dust has settled.
