I've seen a couple of points following the "Articles" project
proposal that appear to require clarification.
1. The Articles project proposal is proposing a project, not a
community, and therefore follows the project proposal process.
This process means that the proposal must be seconded to be
approved. According to the forum listing, at least the first
three replies expressed support for the Articles project.
2. The Articles project has no preexisting relationship with any
community. The relationship between this project and any
existing (or future) community is yet to be negotiated. If the
project never becomes meaningful to users directly, or through a
community, that's okay. (Conversely, it is fine for a would-be
project proposer to negotiate community endorsements in advance;
it is not, however, necessary.)
3. BigAdmin is a web property owned by Sun Microsystems. Its aims
are not necessarily those of any project or community associated
with OpenSolaris. I wouldn't use its existence--or any Sun
program's--as a reason not to start an OpenSolaris project, as
Sun probably has a program for everything...
If you believe the current project proposal process is insufficiently
heavyweight or lacks controlling input from potentially related
communities, please comment to that effect on
