Given that most core contributors are Sun employees still, I'm not happy about relying on a majority vote at this time. If nothing else, it adds to the perception that Sun is unwilling to give the non-employees sufficient say in things. And I agree with Eric in that I'd rather rely as much as possible on evolutionary forces, rather than an up-front gate, for weeding out bad ideas. If we do go with some sort of vote-based system, I'd like to see a written policy about what makes an acceptable project and what can cause a project to be rejected. I also think that projects that are denied are owed some sort of explanation of why (e.g., pointer to where they ran afoul of the policy). stevel> The form outcome of the vote is submitted to the OGB for stevel> approval.

This involves the OGB too much in the day-to-day running of OpenSolaris. I can imagine a project appealing to the OGB, but they shouldn't be involved normally. mike _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
