I'd rather see a page in the Distribution CG that has links for each distribution (install, report a bug, contribute a package) and link to that. With that said, if it has the OpenSolaris 2008 logo and clear links for that, that's a different story. But it would still be good to have the page I mentioned previously. > Are the Contribute a Package instructions ready for such prominent > exposure?

There is no real process in place for contributing packages right now. I'd rather not advertise this until someone has the necessary resources in place. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
