Well, join the team! Nothing is stopping you. The reason focus now is on servers only, that is, no X no DBMSes (that I know), perhaps an MTA and that's about it, is that we're lacking manpower to do both porting (which is the simple part) and supporting it, updating packages when new fixes come out etc etc etc. Alasdair has written a lot about this - google the archives.

Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
