I don't think joey want to isolate China out in this programming context. I think the aim of this context is to attract more students and acadamic users to use solairs. And because joey is work as University Program Manager in Sun China Engineering & Research Institute, the biggest acadamic area for him is in China. It's his work and I don't think he want to isolate any area in his original intention. :)

In the future if another similar program is created and China is issolated out of it, that will be the same. I understand some of the limitation with Chinese speaking people, but the videos will be of less value because they will only be able to be used for China. If you build walls around China as you build your community, you will end up inside of them. Programming is a international language, and Chinese people do not program in Chinese as the compilers take a standard syntax that is unfortunately based around english, or what is more commonly considered the common international language. If you want China to get out and play with the rest of the OpenSolaris community, don't pigeon hole them into a closed society. Other than that, your program looks awesome. As it stands, it's only good for a very small subset of the OpenSolaris community, and calling it OpenSolaris seems to be an oxymoron.
