That misfeature that has long been the source of complaint, that the
current portal does not reflect the Constitution. That is one of the
things we are rectifying.
Until
such a change is approved by the Community, we have no mandate to change
anything. And with all due respect, the OGB doesn't have the power to
unilaterally make that change either, it needs ratifying by the Community as
a whole.
Yet you/your team seem comfortable taking the mandate to unilaterally
invent and decide things for UG's and P's without said constitutional
or community backing. You can't have it both ways...
That is incorrect. We worked closely with the OGB, basing the initial
Auth implementation on the new Constitution that was presented for
ratification the Community by last year's OGB. When it was not
ratified, as has already been explained, we took the CG parts of the old
constitution and the P & UG parts of the unratified Constitution as the
basis for the reimplementation. In addition, we communicated all of
this repeatedly to the OGB, and the wider Community. A list of just
some of the discussions can be found at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/web/#announcements
The Auth component is just the first step of addressing the problems we
have with the current infrastructure. As I have said, we have
communicated our plans and progress to both bthe OGB and the wider
Community all the way through the process, and now with two weeks to
deployment the project is dev-complete and is in the final testing and
deployment stages. We will not be making any further changes to the
application at this point.
