I tried to initiate such a collaboration, but there was no feedback so far. Note that for being able to have a collaboration with OpenSolaris, there is a need to understand what constraints have to be respected. A source setup that does not include Svr4 package meta data is e.g. not useful as a base for colaboration. In order to come to a collaboration, I would like to know whether there are people that would be willing to respect other projects constraints. If this is impossible, we will not be able to collaborate.
