PSARC is the name of one of Sun's internal ARCs - it focuses on Platform Software.
Others include LSARC - layered software and middleware and web services, and FWARC
(for firmware related stuff).  Together they are "the ARC"; individually they are
simply the way we distribute and scale the review process; the number and scope
of XXARCs change regularly over time as needs change.

There is a nascent ARC CG project that will be addressing the question of "what is
the relationship of the ARC community to the rest of the OpenSolaris effort?";
keep an eye out for it soon after the election is over - and please, feel free to
join us.

Thanks, fixed.

This is one of the things this new project is intended to address.
