Some comments:
1. The primary present goals of the infrastructure team are to build
support for repository hosting and for voting/balloting for the
eventual OGB elections. Our resources are very much finite, so
this constrait means that some of the "might be nice to have"
items are not being pursued.
2. It is our intent to make the user account database available for
login purposes on other sites. We've looked at some of the
identity web services, as well as a potential LDAP deployment, but
we're not going to investigate further until a number of other
items are complete. Integration of any particular package with
the site should not be assumed trivial.
3. Project teams have the ability to post content today. The
repository hosting work will make automated postings (or mass
transfers) easier. (But I am not claiming wiki equivalence--
merely that the site will be "good enough" for many purposes.)
4. Any wiki content on opensolaris.org would be covered by the site's
Terms of Use. I am uncertain that all the participants in the
current wikis would agree to contributions under such terms.
Being the system pointed to by a CNAME record from opensolaris.org
is more of a grey area, I suppose.
That said, if you have a link for the "Community Links" page, please
submit it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since there was no wiki
section on that page, I've added the genunix and wikicities wikis in a
new subsection of the Communities and Sites section.
