Hey,
I'd like to propose that the Java Desktop System, JDS, be an official
OpenSolaris project.
Why?
====
o Infrastructure like the creation of mailing lists or source code
repositories require it to be a 'Project'.
o With the introduction of projects like GNOME SSA, there is now
more confusion. I suspect it will get worse rather than better.
o Currently JDS is a 'sub-community' underneath the Desktop
community. While not conceptually wrong, 'Project' might be a
better fit [especially if we ever do a mass cull of communities
and move them to projects].
How?
====
o I'd like to shift over the current set of web pages and add a
set of re-directs to the current pages.
o I'm still hesitant to create a standalone JDS mailing list, and
will continue to advocate using desktop-discuss.
o The Desktop community content will then be changed to reflect the
various upstream communities that the code originates from, how
people can contribute to them directly, and the types of projects
we undertake while under the Desktop community umbrella.
Comments welcome.
Glynn
