unsure who to list when I generated the list of Core Contributors.
I'm sure once we get going on integrating your work into the X
Community, you'll count as a Core Contributor for X in the future,
but my understanding was Contributor status was supposed to reflect
past results, not future plans.

Xorg for Solaris SPARC?
I got two comments quickly after my last post, and have been asked a few
other times lately, so I'll post the answer here as a new entry so it's
more visible. The question is “/So when will we have Xorg on Solaris
SPARC?/” The answer unfortunately is simply “/I don't know/.” The Sun
Ray team <http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin> are working on porting the Sun
Ray drivers to Xorg and the SPARC graphics group are porting the
XVR-2500
<http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/ultra45/specifications.jsp#Graphics>
drivers to Xorg. Our group provides assistance as needed, but most of
the work is in the hands of those groups, and I don't know their plans
for release schedules yet (and it wouldn't be my place to announce for
them even if I did). It's being worked on, but that's about all I know
or can say right now.
