Mailing list charters and KDE-Solaris projects

OK, I'm putting on a semi-official hat here to smother some ongoing
discussions. Cross-posting to two lists to cover everyone.

There is an effort, somewhat organized, with Stefan Teleman, Lukas Oboril and
myself doing most of the heavy lifting (and a cast of dozens of supporting
characters), to make KDE4 available on Solaris. Let's call this
effort "KDE4-Solaris".

This project has a home page at http://opensolaris.org/os/project/kde/
This project has another home page at http://solaris.kde.org/
This project has a mailing list kde-discuss@...
This project's charter summary is:
        Port KDE4 to Solaris S10U4 or later using Sun Studio 12

This charter was settled for the organizing group a little over a year ago.
There are technical reasons for having *this* charter and not a different
one. Some of those reasons have been mentioned on various
Solaris-and-KDE-related mailing lists recently. There is no special
sanctioned status for the KDE4-Solaris project except that it got here first.

There are efforts to port or maintain KDE3 for Solaris.

That project has no home page that I know of
That project used to have a homepage at http://solaris.kde.org/
That project has a mailing list kde-solaris@...
I do not know that this effort is coordinated enough to have a charter

There are efforts to port KDE4 to Solaris with gcc.

That project has no home page that I know of
That project has a mailing list kde-solaris@...
I do not know that this effort is coordinated enough to have a charter


In other words:

KDE4-Solaris -> this side of the fence (kde-discuss@...)
KDE3-Solaris or KDE4-gcc-Solaris -> that side (kde-solaris@...)

I'd also like to ask everyone to be *kind* when referring questions to
the "right" side of the fence. I think it's better to ignore issues you don't
want to deal with -- knowing that there's other folk that might pick it up.

For gcc issues with KDE3 or KDE4: I'm not going to deal with them. Stefan
isn't going to deal with them. Everyone is welcome to work on that, submit
patches through the normal KDE processes, package it up, publish it,
whatever, but that's not what the KDE4-Solaris team is about.

   It will be nice if you or someone can put up a webpage with a
   consolidated rationale for the educational benefit of all. It is
   hard to dig through a variety of list archives.

The rationale is explained clearly and in detail by PSARC/2002/348,
and is publicly accessible online:
