I'd like to propose that either a new discussion forum or a new community and discussion forum be created for talk about Solaris on various platforms. I'm not sure if there should be a seperate one for sparc and x86. Maybe it becomes hardware:sparc and hardware:x86, I don't know.
The goal is to provide a forum where people can share experiences in getting [Open]Solaris to work on various pieces of hardware, in addition to discussing what people did (or didn't do) to get it to work. This has the potential to intersect with a lot of other areas, device-driver, networking, etc, but each one of these is centered on a particular aspect of [Open]Solaris and how it works (or doesn't work.) For example, if I bought a bunch of hardware pieces from Frys or Circuit City or some yum-cha shop and got it up and running with [Open]Solaris by sacrificing 3 virgins whilst doing a tribal dance, I don't see this as being of relevance to device-driver or other forums but at the same time, potentially valuable to other [Open]Solaris users (so they know they need to find 3 virgins, if nothing else!)
