There is no hidden meaning. I picked muskoka for the project because there is an internal machine within Sun which serves a similar purpose for engineering, it has slideware, home pages, etc. - various random things - hosted there. The name is purposely obscure. It's just meant to be a

Now I'm really confused. This last statement sounds like you're inventing new process. Are project teams now expected to cross-post things like PSARC cases and design documents to muskoka-discuss? This doesn't sound very good to me, from an outside-of-sun perspective. I'm in agreement with
