Hi Michele

Here are my comments/suggestions:

--
"Learn More About OpenSolaris"
I don't know what's the size limit for each topic, but I'd add that:
- OpenSolaris is an open source project licensed under the CDDL
- It's based on code from Solaris and that both community distributions 
and the Solaris OS are evolving from the same source base

"Who Develops OpenSolaris?"
- I would put the first phrase a bit differently, here's my suggestion: 
"OpenSolaris is developed by communities working under different 
projects. Each project focuses on one or more specific areas of the 
system, on both kernel and userland consolidations."
I'd also suggest placing a short, random list of links to of 4/5 
projects, so that the visitor can quickly jump to one and see what it is 
like - and each time it's a different list.

"Which Release do I Need?"
- I'd suggest changing this topic to "Choosing a Distribution" or "Which 
Release Fits my Needs?"
- under SXCE, I'd mention that this is the current development version 
of Solaris. Perhaps change "..of the entire WOS" to "the entire 
OpenSolaris source base". Also, "additional technology not released as 
source" might hint that the system is not open source, so I'd suggest 
changing it so it won't give that idea.
- under Community Distros, I think the description of NexentaOS could be 
updated as it's now developed by a new company and with a different set 
of distros.

"Get the Source for OpenSolaris"
- I'd suggest pointing the "download the sourcebase" link to 
http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/
- under "Building the Source", I'd point the "instructions to build" 
link to http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/devref_toc/

---
Participate in OpenSolaris
- under "Help with Contributor Processes", I'd remove the link to the 
Developer's Reference Guide as it is a guide to building the source 
(mostly ON) and AFAIK doesn't refer to the contribution process itself.


It's shaping up very nicely :)

thanks
Rafael
