Two things : 1) happening : It should come as no surprise that I am putting in OpenSolaris based build servers for people to use as needed. I'm in the middle of getting that going and then people can just login directly and build what they need or take what they need from the existing package list. 2 ) working on it : I have a Sun Secure Global Desktop idea in the works also. People will be able to just go and click on desktop.blastwave.org and get an OpenSolaris desktop. They can then decide if they want to download and install it at home but the zero barrier to entry will be made available to them. I had a prototype going for a while and some people loved it from Australia, Poland and California. Great response time and no major problems with lag. That last idea .. is a "good idea" that I am trying to work out the logistics on.
