Of course, we're all Solaris/Sun fanboys and believe that the way in which we architect and develop is "The One True Way(TM)".
Is there any other Open Source project which has similar bureaucracy requirements? The integration of ksh93 is an item which the average Linux distribution does in days or weeks while OpenSolaris.org needs 8 months to present another list of bureaucracy items which still need to be finished. I think it is excessive to the point of mental injury that such a simple project gets delayed by a factor of 40. Applying the same bureaucracy to other projects will lead to the destruction of OpenSolaris.org. I predict that either the number of contributors will cease or a full fork of OpenSolaris.org (the whole organisation, not the Solaris kernel) may appear, drawing all attention and contributors to the new project -- Josh _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
