I might add that any case materials that have been posted to arc-discuss since July 13, 2005 are conveniently search-able and available here: http://opensolaris.markmail.org/search/list:org%2Eopensolaris%2Eopensolaris-arc It may not be the same as having direct access to the materials, but it will give you quite a bit.
