I'm sure nobody thought they were unused. I'm sure it was a cost saving measure. Jive forums start at $20k/yr, assuming you want just a vanilla config (which opensolaris didn't) plus the man hours to maintain it and its consistency between mailman. I recently looked into implementing a community portal modeled on the opensolaris community (forums + email coexisting blissfully) but all the competitors were in the same range. You can do either one by itself extremely well for free. You can do both poorly for free, or you can do both very well for big bucks. That's what opensolaris was doing. Seems coincidental this change was very near 1 year after "the change," doesn't it? Somebody's budget got slashed... But the jive renewal was nearly a year later... I bet. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
