I'm writing that it means something to a certain profile / group of people. As is evident from the ensuing discussions on the topic, everyone has their own idea of what "Indiana" should entail. Personally, I believe it's nothing more than a marketing stunt and vaporware. Some of the already existing projects / products that have been in development for years will get bundled together and named "Indiana", but this will be just pure coincidence. I predict that many will be sorely disappointed by the first release of "Indiana", because I've observed that expectations and hopes are very high, but people seem to neglect the fact that Ubuntu, and Linux in general, have had been in development for years before they became as polished as they are now. Considering how much work on Solaris is ahead of us, and the ratio of end-users to developers, we've got a looong way to go, and it will take far longer than expected. That is, unless we either get an injection of developers or our end-users realize that the best way to "scratch their own itch" is to roll up their sleeves and help out with the code / gfx / audio... after all that's what happened to Linux and everybody accepts it, I don't see why that's unacceptable for Solaris.
