I wasn't trying to say that only code contribution counts, but that since
you are picking the core contributors for the Desktop Community, not for
OpenSolaris as a whole, that for contributors you're judging based on code,
that code to a Desktop project, not ON, would be the criteria.   For
contributors in other ways, be it QA, promoting, or whatever, it's still
those contributions in the areas of the Desktop community you should be
judging.
