Within Sun, for the last 17+ years, anyone could initiate a "project"

and no endorsement. (Though, while it is /always/ a good idea to
have your manager be aware of what you are doing, that is more of
an HR issue than a project approval one :-)
Even with between 500 and 900 projects being proposed every year,
the system isn't overloaded or inconvenienced in any way.
I would imagine the opensolaris.org staff would be very overloaded
trying to set up 900 projects per year on the opensolaris web site
- there's a big difference between submitting a one pager that just
generates an ARC case id and creating a online colloboration space.
We certainly don't intend the project creation policy to apply to
everything that generates an ARC case, but to longer term projects
that need a space set aside for participants to work together.
If it's something one person can do in a few days in their own
workspace, that's great, but it's not an OpenSolaris Project.
