</div>Rajeev, My "Err..no" was to you, and the remainder of my explanation<br>
was to all on the list (including you).<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you expected some other form of response so that<br>
I can avoid mis communication and confusion in future.<br>

</div>Sorry, I seem to have hit "Send" too early.<br>
<br>
I'd mentioned that the Belenix project would be of interest to<br>
programmers who use Python, both as a development platform, as well as<br>
an open source project to which we could all contribute to.<br>

<br>
</div>My messaging is about an opportunity for Python programmers who'd like<br>
to write apps for a new (to some of us) platform. Python based code<br>
that would be written for KDE would be usable on KDE on Solaris and<br>
not just on Belenix.<br>
<br>
Some such apps could be -> adding ZFS awareness to Konqueror, or a<br>
pyQT based app that would be better than TimeMachine, or ensuring that<br>
kpackage and the smart package manager both work correctly on the<br>
opensolaris platform.<br>
<br>
Developing for Belenix in specific would involve activities such as:<br>
- ensuring that rpm5 runs on Belenix<br>
- cleaning up and refactoring spec files to be smaller and to have the<br>
right version numbering.<br>
<br>
I look forward to meeting you.<br></blockquote><div><br>Ok, all that text and....<br><br> In short, your expectation is that we can get together and write some<br> code in PyQt which can be used for Belenix apps as welll as (possibly)<br>
ported to KDE on Solaris.<br><br> Fine. Simple thoughts written in a long winded fashion.<br> <br> Btw, I thought Konqueror was ZFS aware, so my question is it it<br> possible to do this entirely using a PyQT based layer which understands<br>
both ZFS and can talk to the KDE/Kparts layer ?<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
