Guys,
I were thinking on what would be beneficial for every camp involved into
OpenSolaris and related development? What would be useful for NexentaOS,
BeleniX, SchilliX, marTux, SCXR, etc ?
I think having centralized place (bugzilla, bounty, project management,
calendar, etc) for OSS packages would be really beneficial for every
camp involved.
I came across launchpad.net[1] and I think it could be a really great
idea to utilize it for OpenSolaris community. NexentaOS is already
registered[2] there, the same way we could register
"opensolaris-generic" and other distros where we could collect all our
patches and together collaborate on ongoing issues.
I browsed through the launchpad.net site. It looks like a very useful
resource. In fact
I have to put up a open subproject page and track status. I guess
launchpad will
provide a good framework for doing this rather than having to
maintain and keep
updating a static HTML page.
In general there are bugs that will be common to distros. These can
be tracked to
avoid duplication of effort by the various distros. This is a good
opportunity to
collaborate. I will register the BeleniX project.
Regards,
Moinak.
Erast, Moinak -- Is launchpad maybe a place where participating projects
could work on standardizing "auxilliary"[1] FOSS libraries?

[1]: A set of key libraries that are currently being maintained
separately by most (all?) distros and ports systems because they are not
part of Nevada -- or they are in Nevada but deemed unsatisfactory.
Few great things about launchpad (as I see it):
1) It could coexist with existing bug-tracking systems, i.e. we don't
have to change NBTS to Malone for instance and re-integrate our internal
stuff;
2) It provides integrated bounty[3] system. So end user potentially
could pay cache for particular fix in his favorite distro;
3) Its well done.
