Hi, I'm currently (and temporarily) online again, after a "business-deal"-travel related interruption.
I found that parts of my original statement may sound ambiguous. I would like to correct this now.

This was 100% PRO-Moinak, not contra!!!
Moinak Ghosh has made FOX self-hosting, has added many client-libs and -apps to the FOX Makefile framework. He has donated his changes to Xorg from BeleniX to Indiana and, as far as I know, is chief-developer responsible for FOX on Indiana-x64/x86. (Plus, of course, all his other essential contributions beyond xwin, such as clofi, hsfs-readahead, microroot etc etc etc!) In my view this should make him a core contributor on xwin and/or indiana. But isnt't indiana a project, rather than a community? Didn't we vote to give project leaders more grants last February? It looks like nothing has changed since then, anyways not into the right direction. When watching  http://poll.opensolaris.org/ you will see, that Moinak has only a single core contributor title and two plain "contributor" titles. That shows that this system isn't properly set-up.
