We are pretty happy with hosting provided by Stanford University, but I think some projects could be moved to opensolaris.org, like apt-get/dpkg ports, debhelper, hackzone tools, fileutils, etc, as subprojects of some top-level consolidation - GNU/OpenSolaris (i.e. not Solaris), so it will create dedicated mailing lists for those small projects. > Eric > > > > >> (Question for the future OGB: does a Project/Community have to be hosted on > >> opensolaris.org in order to qualify its members for Core Contributor > >> status?) > >> > -- Erast _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
