We just started the content project and I would really encourage people to get involved with this. I know that there are a lot of projects here but I really feel that getting information out to people is vital to the future success of OpenSolaris. I think the world as a whole isn't really getting what's really going on here. For example, just last Information Week just had one of those is Unix dead articles. When I see all of the innovation going on here the real question should be are all the other OS's dead? I would argue that Solaris has more innovations recently than any OS has seen in the past twenty years and Solaris has got to be the best professional grade OS out there now. Also the fact that this has become open source is pretty amazing. It has become obvious that this is not just another marketing gimmick from Sun. This has never been done before. There is a really a revolution going on here and it is almost like it is some kind of secret. So if you feel like me, let's do something about it. What needs to be done is to educate people. Once they use OpenSolaris and understand it they'll be hooked. After all I am not a Sun employee or their shill. I am just someone truly excited about what is being done here. I am a Java Developer and I have not been this excited about an OS since I moved from DOS to OS/2.
The Content Project I see is one of the best ways we can get people to get into OpenSolaris. Solaris has always had a steep learning curve and we can work on that. Educating new people is something anybody who cares about OpenSolaris can and should get involved with. If you agree the head over to the content project and help. The obvious thing is that we need people to write content. It isn't that hard and is a great way to get recognized. We also need reviewers, maybe you don't have the time or skills yet but your sure will have something to offer by helping the authors with your comments. Again it isn't hard and gets yourself recognized. So who's with me?
