It's an interesting idea, but I think it needs some clarification. Do you mean organization within the OpenSolaris community itself or within Sun? If you mean the community, then we don't really have that yet. We have Members, Contributors, and Core Contributors (among other designations), but there's not much in the way of hierarchy. I suppose it might be possible to create such a chart anyway, though it might be tough to keep it up to to date. (Whose job would that be?) If you mean Sun, I'd suggest just dropping it. Such information is generally considered proprietary information, and carefully guarded. There's no way I could see it being published. At best, you might be able to get selected folks to identify themselves by rank, and then only when it's in a particular context where that information somehow matters. Otherwise, just go by name. There are a lot of us, but we all have names. ;-} -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
