The point was that, even with paid support AND a full time staff of several people dedicated to the website, the OpenSolaris jive/mailman configuration and interaction is less than perfect, making the arguments we've been hearing (and hearing and hearing...) that one particular type is obviously better than the other seem pretty stupid. In this case, BOTH the paid software and the open source packages are lame and poorly integrated... In the one case, you need a vendor who responds with a better product that you can use; in the other, you need staff that is motivated and capable of adding a desired feature; OS's Jive/Mailman example simply shows the failure mode when you don't get what in theory should be easy or obvious, for whatever reason.... -John _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
