The Sun Solaris development process starts with a project proposal
being submitted - and results in the "immediate" creation of an
ARC project placeholder, entry into the "project database" and
broadcast dissemination of the announcement.  No approvals or
endorsements of any type required - simply "if you want to do
something, here is how you start", tied into "if you want to
know what is happening, here's how to tune in".

I don't know how to "fix" this out in OS.o-land.
