To the case directory as proposed20q.txt.

And


1.  What is the proposal being presented for review?

* Give an overview of the project and its phase(s).
* Describe the exposure (OpenSolaris), scope and type of review desired 
(overview,
  full case, etc.)
* Indicate the release binding requested by the project team.
* What are the project's deliverables.
* How does this project align with existing or proposed ARC cases?

2.  Describe user interactions.

* Are new user interfaces being proposed, or existing interfaces being 
changed?
* Explain the similarities in proposed interfaces with existing OS user 
interfaces
  (Solaris, Linux, Windows, etc.).
* Are there any install time changes?

3.  What are the imported (consumed by the project) and exported 
(exposed by the project)
    interfaces or protocols and their respective stability levels?

* Is there a versioning scheme in place?
* Has the team secured interface contracts where necessary?
* Use an ARC prescribed interface table format.

4.  Describe any dependencies on hardware (e.g. SPARC exclusive), and on 
other projects
    within Solaris.

5.  What are the security implications of this project? (Gary Winiger to 
expand).

6.  Describe means of observing project functionality and performance, 
by an end
    user or by a system administrator.

7.  How does the project deal with faults and interruptions? 
Initialization and
    restarting?

8.  How does the project interact with Solaris virtualization 
technologies (xVM,
    LDOMs, SunCluster, etc.)?

9.  Is systems administration needed for your project? If so,

* How is the project administered, and what sort of review process has 
this user
  interface undergone?
* Is there a means of aggregating management and/or configuration with 
other related
  projects?
* Are there any external (to Solaris) management interfaces to consider, 
or being
  consumed?


10. Have you reviewed the Best Practices? Are there any exceptions this 
project needs?
