Ben,

We are trying to break down documentation into more discrete tasks that can be 
managed, tracked and achieved. So far, we've broken the project into four 
areas, based in large part on our perception of community need:

* Open source man pages:  universally, this seems to be the area of highest 
priority.
* OpenSolaris documentation project:  This refers to formulating and setting up 
the processes and framework for the development of open source documentation 
for 
OpenSolaris. This includes the decision-making around format for source, style 
guidelines, standards for technical review, the submission process, the posting 
process, versioning , archiving, issues of standards, licensing, ownership, 
tools recommendations.  
*Open Solaris Resource Portal:  this is the development of a single-point portal
for OpenSolaris resource documentation.  This is a location that will aggregate 
the
resources available for OpenSolaris, including articles, blogs, project 
materials, specs, developer guides, etc.  These resources may or may not be 
open source.
*Open source Solaris documentation:  open source Solaris documentation for 
OpenSolaris

Resource limitation forces us to set priorities.  While open sourcing Solaris 
documentation is important, we sense that there is higher community interest in
being able to contribute new documentation, independent of the documentation 
that currently supports Solaris.  And the decisions to be made and processes 
and structures to put in place for the doc project are integral to the latter 
initiative.
