[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana roadmap

[Milan Jurik]

Hi,

fee sounds nice. But you have to find somebody to whom to pay it.

Nobody offers manpower helping Jon to build and to assemble releases. 
All working on it have full time job (with no plans to change I think). 
Offer some dedicated junior team members, not money.

Best regards,

Milan
