[ogb-discuss] Approved Project Proposal: ISCSI Extensions for RDMA

[Eric Boutilier]

Hello Peter,

Your blank project page is ready:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/iser

(Using "iser" as the identifying string in the URL... let me
know if that's not OK.)

The reference document (how-to) for managing and developing
community and project pages is here:
http://opensolaris.org/os/communities/lead_reference

Let us know (project-setup at opensolaris.org) when you're ready to
announce and we'll unhide the page.

Eric
