Existing projects like:
The OpenSolaris Starter Kit. The SMF Documentation project.
The Country Portals localization project. The Summer of Code project.
Other forseeable projects like:
A project from the User Groups community to create a
"How to start a user group near you" kit. A project from the
marketing community to create a set of handouts for giving out
at tradeshows. A project from the Tools community to create
a new bug tracking database. A project from the Website
community to share development of the opensolaris.org web app.
Projects aren't always about code going into the OS - they can
handle other sorts of colloborative development that need a
mailing list and a shared editable repository of electronic
documents, whether that be code or OpenOffice docs or whatever.
