But you seem to be using "collaborate" to mean "fully share control", not just "work with." > Alan, you are working on Xorg and I believe you know by own experience that > collaboration is possible. Yes - but X.Org is a different case, since it was started as a joint project by people from many companies and distros who all agreed not to have a single controlling sponsor. X.Org does currently have a "lord of the manor" for the X server though - Keith Packard is the maintainer of the xorg-server git repo, and only he is allowed to commit directly to the master branch. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
