  We consider small-scale jet-like events that might make the solar wind, as
has been suggested in recent studies. We show that the events referred to as
"coronal jets" and as "jetlets" both fall on a power-law distribution that also
includes large-scale eruptions and spicule-sized features; all of the jet-like
events could contribute to the solar wind. Based on imaging and magnetic field
data, it is plausible that many or most of these events might form by the same
mechanism: Magnetic flux cancelation produces small-scale flux ropes, often
containing a cool-material minifilament. This minifilament/flux rope erupts and
reconnects with adjacent open coronal field, along which "plasma jets" flow and
contribute to the solar wind. The erupting flux ropes can contain twist that is
transferred to the open field, and these become Alfv\'enic pulses that form
magnetic switchbacks, providing an intrinsic connection between switchbacks and
the production of the solar wind.
