[Teresa Giacomini]

Here's the note I sent off to the attorneys yesterday.  Comments?

========================================================

Jen, Linda,

Here are some new judging criteria for the OpenSolaris awards.  Can you 
please incorporate them in?  Do we have to declare the weighting up 
front?  Our intention is that only the main idea would be in the rules; 
the bullets underneath would go in the instructions to the judges and 
the FAQ.

Thanks,
T
