I'm happy to see a new Belenix development list sponsored by the new 
Distro CG. It's totally up to the Belenix leaders, though, as Shawn 
suggests.

My view is that it wouldn't make sense for Advocacy to sponsor a new 
Belenix dev list. We may as well start focusing (or encouraging, anyway) 
the engineering activities of the distros around the new Distro CG. 
Advocacy created belenix-discuss to accommodate the Belenix discussions 
that grew out of the ug-bosug user group list in Bangalore. If 
belenix-discuss will remain a general user list, it's certainly welcome 
to stay here since Advocacy should be supporting user issues for all of 
OpenSolaris. The Belenix website on Genunix has a forum link pointing to 
belenix-discuss, but I think it's appropriate for Belenix to have a 
development list /and/ a user list linked off that project page even 
though the two lists are sponsored by different CGs on opensolaris.org.
