netoffice.sf.net allows you to track the progress of projects and even upload documents to add to those projects. If someone provides the server I will be more than happy to admin the software. Use it here a lot at work Nick -Original Message- From: Bob Palowoda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Its really none of my business, but it seems to me you should at least consider attaching an OpenSolaris presence to some of the traditional telecom shows where Sun is often present in other guises, like Supercomm. This might be an opportunity to to win back some otherwise eroding mindshare to
