I have offered it and I do it again ;) I offer the Website, the Mailinglists FTP Space and Subversion or Mercurical. Thats for me not an expensive part. I will offer the Domain virtualizing.org for that. I am a Webdeveloper and Administrator. I could not commit clean an good Code about xVM. My coding skills are to low for that. cheers Darko Hojnik _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
