You have to verify that the way it is currently handled actually works.
My impression is that it is either impossible to integrate stuff at all
or that some people inside Sun boycott the integration of star. If you
would ask me now, I could only say "it does not work".
Think about how to find a way to change this....
Jorg, you are in SWAN now. You can put together a workspace, integrate
star into it, send out the code reviews and ultimately submit the RTI.
Until you have an RTI that is refused, or an ARC case that is rejected,
I don't think it is fair to assume *anyone* is rejecting anything if
you've done.
But its also not fair to expect them to do this work for you. If
someone else at Sun wants star badly then *they* could do the work.
So, if your ARC cases have been approved, put together a workspace, and
send out code reviews as the first step. Its really not that hard.
I'd offer to help you with it myself, except I know nothing about the
SFW consolidation, and have little interest learning it just to help you
out. If however you want to integrate into ON, I can offer you some
basic suggestions... but I'm still not going to do the work for you
myself! I don't think anyone else will, either.
As my dad always said, "Actions speak louder than words." Demonstrate
your commitment to getting star integrated by your deed rather than your
e-mails.

Garrett's Dad is obviously a very smart man. And Garrett seems to
have learned from his Dad very well. He (Garrett) is a very
successful contributor to ON and a (successful) role model that we
would do well to emulate.
